Opening Day at TPG.

Who's the fellow in the back please? Note, they're wearing the World's Fair patch (Trylon & Perisphere). Thanks!

World's Fair was 1939-40. I just looked at the '39 roster at baseball-reference.com. Closest match I could make was Mel Ott but looking at the picture it certainly doesn't scream "Ott".

Why not Ott? BTW, I think the guy in the front, on the right, is Joe Jackson incognito.

Thanks guys, I was leaning towards Ott as well, but he just looks more gaunt in this shot.

Reckon I should show the entire thing. 1938 NYWF promo.

I don't think it is Ott, but Bobby I think you are right about Horace Stoneham.

No suggestion, but I am almost positive it is not Ott.

Default Harry Gumbert
From my 1937 Giants guide it most resembles Harry Gumbert (he's got the right ears).
