Help with 1955 Salem Rebels Photo - Orlando Cepeda pictured?
Need some help with the photo below. I have owned this for a few years now and was under the impression that Orlando Cepeda is pictured with his teammates from the 1955 Salem Rebels.
However, now I am not so sure. This item was on Phil Garry's old "rookie" checklist but I don't see Cepeda. The guy in the top row is far too dark skinned and the kid up front has an unusual mole and looks a bit scrawny (even though he would have been about 16 years old). As much as I'd hate to have my suspicion confirmed, I'd like to know for a fact before trying to sell this to someone else under a faulty and false assumption. I'd also like to remove this from the "rookie" checklist if, indeed, it isn't Cepeda.

The kid in the front row does seem to resemble Orlando...

Honestly, I don't see The Baby Bull in that photo, but can you post either a larger full image or just enlarged headshots of the three candidates? Things will move quickly if you could.

No way either guy in the back row is Orlando.

Agreed, but it's important to be thorough.
