Quite a bit of big league talent on that team. Story posted subsequently for those interested.

First row, left to right:
Al Lien, Pacific Coast League: Taft Wright, Chicago White Sox; Buster Mills, Cleveland Indians; Dario Lodigliano, Chicago White Sox; Stan Rojek, Brooklyn Dodgers; Charlie Silvera; Johnny Mazur; Bill Dudley

Second row:
Mike McCormick, Cincinnati Reds; no name; Tex Hughson, Boston Red Sox; Sid Hudson; Herm Reich, Pacific Coast League; Bill Schmidt, Pacific Coast League; Bob Dillinger, Toledo AA; Chet Kehn, Brooklyn Dodgers
It will be a long time before I see anything this cool again. I love baseball and WWII. Thanks for sharing.
