More major league ties in this picture:
Back row, far left is Charles "Chet" Morgan Jr., son of Chet Morgan Sr., an outfielder briefly with the Tigers in the 1930s. And in the second row, third from the left, is Chuck Doehler, who just passed away a month or so ago. Though he never made it far professionally (he was a late-season fill in for the injured "John" Covington in 1952) as a player, Doehler has one of the most unique baseball connections you could ever imagine. Chuck was one of the last to see the earthly remains of Babe Ruth (long story, but Claire had the casket re-opened so that Chuck and his late-arriving teammates could place a ball with Babe), and one of the first to welcome the new HR King, Henry Aaron. Several years ago, I purchased an original Bears team photo, complete with the mailing envelope. Alas, it's from 1951.
