Help with 'Eye-Straining' IDs in 1999 HOF Group Photo

[clydepepper]

Hey, Guys. I apologize for the very small picture -it was a Google Image.

I'm trying to identify all of the gentlemen in this photo...there are 12 on the first and middle rows; 14 on the back row.

*** LEON is stepping in (Thanks!) and will provide a larger version of the photo.

Positioned left to right, this is what I have so far:

Bottom Row
1.) Lasorda
2.) Mays
3.) Kell
4.) Spahn
5.) Marichal
6.) Commissioner Selig
7.) ???
8.) Berra
9.) MacPhail or Doerr
10.) Slaughter
11.) Musial
12.) T.Williams

Middle Row
1.) ???
2.Brett
3.) Killebrew
4.) Perry
5.) B.Robinson
6.) ???
7.) Kiner
8.) Stargell
9.) Irvin
10.) Roberts
11.) Feller
12.) Cepeda

Top Row
1.) Ryan
2.) Gibson
3.) Carlton
4.) Kaline
5.) Niekro
6.) Fingers
8.) Sutton
9.) Palmer
10.) Brock
11.) Seaver
12.) R.Jackson
13.) Jenkins
14.) Yount

These are the other Hall-of-Famers attending that Induction Weekend but not especially sitting for this photo:

Aaron, Doby, Ford, Schmidt, and B.Williams

The man talking to George Brett may be HOF pres.





Any corrections welcome.

Thanks in advance for your assistance,
Raymond

With Leon's help, I may be able to make out a few more - let me know if you agree:


Tommy Lasorda could be to the left of Mays

Between Mays & Spahn: Kell?

Between Yogi and The Man: MacPhail or Doerr? & Slaughter?

Between Carlton & Niekro: Kaline?

Between Seaver & Jenkins: Reggie?

To the right of Stargell: Monte Irvin?

Between Irvin & Feller: Roberts?

#6 on the bottom row is probably Bud Selig.

That's what I thought

[clydepepper]

There's only one more 'Man of Color' un-identified....in the middle of the top row between Rollie Fingers and Don Sutton.

The candidates are Hank Aaron, Billy Williams and Larry Doby.

Any guesses? I'm thinking it's Aaron or Williams.



How about the man sitting to the left of Yogi?

He's too big to be Ford or Doerr and definitely isn't Schmidt.

I don't see a likely candidate for Mike. As I stated earlier, some Weekend attendees did not sit for this photo.
