Jonathan, I too was thinking that could be Sheehy but Webb and MacPhail didn't buy the Yanks until the mid-forties. This image has to be 1936 or 1937. Lazzeri was gone after that.
EDIT: On second thought, based on that time line, Sheehy would have only been 26 or 27 years old (died in 1985 at 75 years of age) - I think the guy in the picture is older. Maybe a young George Weiss who was working in the Yankee system at that time and would have been 42-43 years old.
