........Just wondering.....Did they identify the Lopez image correctly back in '36 .... looks more like Mickey Cochrane ? Can anyone verify the uniform perhaps ? Thanks , MikeGarcia

I stumbled across this particular puzzlement whilst organizing my beloved catcher collection into anal-retentive obsessive-compulsive alphabetical order , plus I needed an excuse to say ''whilst''.

I hope that is Al Lopez. It looks like the author of the Al Lopez book at the link below used the same picture for the cover of his book.

Here's a slightly larger image of the book cover...

Having seen Al Lopez in person as an older man, that sure looks like him.

The visible ear matches Lopez and it does not match Cochrane.
