I'm not sure why, but this picture really intrigues me. The first two in the second row might be Bill Dickey and Ralph Branca. First row, second person is boxer and Black Sox associate, Abe Attell. The small man in the center with the hat is bowler Joe Falcaro. Gene Stanley is supposed to be there, but I don't see anyone who looks like my 1951T Ringside. Do you?
Who else can you ID and what is the joyous occassion? http://www.ebay.com/itm/190702422432...84.m1438.l2649 |

Good news is, you got 3 out of 4 of your ID's right (better than I could have done without the caption)! |

aww bummer , I spotted Gene Stanley MR. America before the caption, Ralph Branca also. Gene Stanley was something. I just watched one of his wrestling matches on Youtube.

Interesting mix
This photo has quite an interesting mix of athletes from many sports:
Baseball - Branca, Barney Basketball - Braun Bowling - Falcaro Golf - Sutcliffe Tennis - Wood, Cooke Cycling - LeTournier ('le diable rouge') Hockey - Stanley, Lund (2nd Finn in the NHL) Olympic Figure Skating - Seigh Boxing - Oma, Savold, Belloise, Attell, Levine, Aaronson From what I can tell four of them are still alive - Branca, Stanley, Lund and Seigh. Artie Levine died a year ago last month. I got Seigh's signature TTM last year. Maybe someone can fill in the rest. Cheers, Michael |
