St. Louis Browns photo ID help...

[SAllen2556]

I've had this 4 x 5 negative that my grandfather took for years and have actually scoured the internet trying to figure out who these guys are - with no luck. All I know is it's from Briggs Stadium in Detroit. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Not sure of either one, but surely someone here will help with the IDs before too long.

Just had to comment that I'd kill for one of those Brownie Jackets... a want-list item of mine for almost 20 years

If someone here doesn't ID them quickly, I have two suggestions, the first of which you may have already tried:

1. Do an image search for various years of Browns team photos to find ones that have rosters IDing the players at the bottom to see if you can match images.

2. I believe a St. Louis Browns Historical Society may still exist. Try an internet search to verify and get in contact.

Good luck.

1952-53 Browns going by hat and logo. Narrows it a bit.

Other guy Boris Babe Martin?

Actually, now that the years were narrowed down, I think it's Bob Cain on the right. Thanks for any and all replies. I never would have figured it out myself.
