Need help determining year and some players on two postcards

[btcarfagno]

They are from the Puerto Rican winter league, obviously. I am trying to nail down any information that I can on what year they are from, and I have to guess that the only way to do that is to figure out some of the players depicted.






I think that I see Quincy Trouppe on the Caguas postcard, but that doesn't help as I have no idea where to find rosters from the Puerto Rico winter league from the 1940's.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you show the backs? I know that on US real photo postcards, the stamp areas can help in determining course date ranges.

I did a Google search, and found that Cerveza India (the brewery) was founded in November 1937, and the baseball team Los Indios de Mayaguez began in 1938.

Edited to add:

Quincy Trouppe was the player/manager of Caguas in the 1947-48 season.

Here is an image of the back. Both postcards have the same back.

AZOs are pretty common, but the four squares stamp box started in 1926 and ran into the 40s, according to the chart.

By the look of their uniforms and clothing I am going with circa 1930s - 1940s.....well, I guess that doesn't nail it down but it is probably correct.
