Does anyone know whether this strip card is of Ross Youngs, the HOFer?

That was certainly the impression I got from the name "Ross" in the title, the reference to him being in the Hall of Fame and the era of the card. However, Ross Youngs was one called "the greatest outfielder I ever saw," not the greatest second baseman plus the last name is spelled differently..I now strongly suspect this is the same Detroit second baseman, Pep Young, found in the M101-4 set:

If he's not a HOFer, I am still obligated to purchase? Thanks.
