Default Can anyone identify this Ralph Houk uniform?
I assumed it was something military related, but it doesn’t seem to line up with anything that I have found. Originally having seen that he played for the 89th Calvalry Reconnaissance squadron I thought maybe that was what it stood for but I’m not so sure about that translating to an “RC” hat logo.

He was assigned to and played for the Fort Leavenworth Army Reception Center team in 1942.

Definitely Kansas as I have this photo during the National Baseball Congress games showing two players in the same uniform. Probably the Kansas State tournament portion. This came from Ralph Winegarner that is shown wearing the Beechcraft jersey.

My pleasure. This image looks like it was in a publication of sorts, judging by the halftone. Do you know the origin?
