Who am I?

This sure looks like Ted Williams. But I'd be real surprised if he appeared on the cover of Life Magazine while still in the PCL. And the lettering on his jersey looks suspiciously like "Brooklyn". So who is this?

It's Brooklyn Dodger John Thomas Winsett.

Does anyone besides me think his legs look completely distorted?

Interesting to note; that he is called rubber legged on this. Apparently he was quite elastic

Thanks everyone. Am I the only one who thinks this guy looks a lot like Williams?

No, sir. I thought it was Ted with an initial glance. But if you look at him it gradually becomes obvious that he isn't.

They don't really stage photos like that these days...
