I picked this image up a while ago and thought it'd be easy to figure out who was involved. So far, not so easy. Maybe one of you see some clues or can recognize folks.
The image is from 1939, based on the centennial patch on the catcher's sleeve. And we can all agree that the first digit of the catcher's uniform number is 2. I got it in New York so had assumed the Yankees (sliding) but when I actually looked, I think that's the Washington Nationals logo. The best match for the catcher's is maybe the Boton braves/bees, but not 100%. Cardinals? Who else had a cap with piping?
The list of catchers wearing 20-something uniform numbers in 1939, per baseball reference, is pretty short, ignoring some teams that it can't possibly be like the yankees.
Stan Andrews, Bees/Braves, #29
Al Todd, Dodgers, #21
Chris Hartje, Dodgers, #23, played in just a handful of games
Hal Wagner, A’s, #26, played in 5 games
Wally Millies, Phillies, #23
Bennie Warren, Phillies, #26
Joe Glenn, Browns, #26
Sam Harshaney, Browns, #21
Anyway, please share if you have ideas. thanks1
