Snapshot Identification Help

[aelefson]

Hi-

I bought these snapshots a while ago. Does anyone recognize either the stadium in the background or any of the people? I know it is very unlikely there is anyone recognizable but I figured I would check. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

hey alan. i believe the first photo depicts mickey cochrane and my guess is that all of these photos are related to the A's in spring training. whether it's at home or the road i'm not sure...

Thank you Chris! I had no idea there was anyone recognizable let alone a HOFer. I will add that snapshot to my HOF photo binder soon. I really appreciate your help with these.

Believe Chris is correct. Another picture of Cochrane at the same facility during Spring Training.

Additionally, I believe the last photo depicts one of the players wearing number 12. Not sure if the player played for the Athletics or an opposing team, but the Athletics didn’t start wearing numbers on their jersey’s until 1931ish.

Am I the only one who thought "short Ted Williams"?

Yes. That looks like Cochrane to me. I think it is the A's old Spring Training home, Terry Park in Fort Myers Florida based on these images.

Never took Connie Mack for a southpaw...does anyone know about that? Baseball Reference says he was a righty.
