Default Name Game....odd coincidence of 3 of my favorite Yankees having the same middle name

Here's an interesting "name exchange" to give this thread a friendly bump.

The last card (#240) in the 1949 BOWMAN set is identified as "Babe" Young. However, the player depicted on
this card is actually Bob Young.

Babe Young retired at the end of the 1948 season. Bob Young was traded to the St Louis Browns in June 1949.

Appears to be a mix-up between Babe and Bob by BOWMAN. Anyway, neither of them played for the Yankees.
