Need ID help with this old Red Sox Photo
Posted By: <b>Tom</b><p>Hi all,<br /><br />This photo was a “throw in” in a recent auction that I won.<br /><br />Comparing the uniforms to the Hall of Fame uniform database, the years I’m thinking are likely 1936 or 1937.<br /><br />I'm also guessing by the age of the gentlemen, that these are likely part of the coaching staff.<br /><br />Maybe Joe Cronin 3rd from the left?<br />Herb Pennock on the left?<br /><br />Any thoughts?<br /><br />-Tom<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1221423734.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>The guy second from left is probably Tom Daly who was a coach with the Red Sox throughout the 1930s and 40s.<br /><br />edited to add: probably not an old timers game as this is pretty clearly Spring Training in Sarasota looking at the grandstands. The picture is a shot of the Red Sox coaching staff.<br /><br />edited a second time to add: I would almost bet it's spring training 1939.

Posted By: <b>Michael Steele</b><p>I think Dan has it nailed. Looking at my 1936 Batter Up Red Sox edition, Daly and Pennock are coahes and Hugh Duffy was added later. I almost thought the 2nd from left was Duffy Lewis but that would break up the Manager and coach lineup. Nice photo.<br /><br />Edited to add: Duffy Lewis was a coach with the Boston Bees (Braves) in the late thirties.

Posted By: <b>Tom</b><p>Dan - how in the heck did you recognize the grandstands as a spring training site in Sarasota?! <br /><br />I admit that I don't post a lot here, but I do spend quite a bit of time lurking - and I must say the knowledge here never ceases to amaze me.<br /><br />Thanks for all the help!<br /><br />-Tom

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Tom, The Red Sox are <i>MY</i> team so I've seen, and owned in the past many photos of them from Spring Training in the 1930s. It's almost the first thing I recognized were those wooden grandstands with the half oval openings in the back when I saw your pic (Which is great btw).

Posted By: <b>whitehse</b><p>As stated before, this appears to be spring training and not a old timers game. I think another dead give away is that the bats the 2 men are holding appear to be fungo bats backs up the fact that they are coaches and probably spring training as was mentioned previously.

Posted By: <b>Tom</b><p>Dan, <br /><br />Being a Red Sox fan, you might enjoy this wire photo. Of the two photos in the lot, this is the one I wanted.<br /><br />L-R Russell Rollings, Denny Williams, Kenneth Williard and Ira Flagstead. This was taken March 15, 1928 in Bradenton, Florida.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1221529820.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Jodi Birkholm</b><p>Denny Williams is a super-tough autograph. Despite Flagstead's death in 1940, I have seen many examples, but he is also still tough, although not in the Denny Williams sense. There is a Net54 lurker who is related to Flagstead who will undoubtedly love to see this photo! Sily me, Tom, it's <i>you</i> !!! <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> Thanks for sharing!
