For what it's worth, while poking around the web for some images to compare I came across this gorgeous site. The only drawback is he doesn't id the players
 I emailed him our item in question. He soon replied with Woodling. (The site is definitely worth checking out -- tons of photos, mainly Highlanders/Yankees).http://www.lonecadaver.com/GroupPhotos1950-1959.html

Thanks for the link Paul. Who is that with Hank Bauer immediately under the "1952" line? That looks like our guy to me.

I'm going with Jim McDonald. After a quick search, it could very well be him. Not guaranteeing it or anything, but after reading people say it's Hank Bauer, Yogi Berra or Irv Noren, I had to say something. It doesn't look anything like them!!!
Noren's mouth is so close to his nose in every picture and his nose sticks way the heck out near the bottom like a ski jump. It doesn't come close to resembling the features of the guy in the picture. Come on!!! And everyone knows what Yogi Berra looks like. A passing resemblance at best. Hank Bauer?????????????? Is this a joke???????????? OK...I'll calm down now.

Here's a photograph (admittedly lo res) of McDonald on the Orioles from, I believe, 1955. A mirror image and at a slightly different angle, but there's little doubt it's him.

That's what makes this so tough, those two look nothing alike to me other than they have eyes, ears and a mouth.

Agreed Jeff. Here is a side-by-side of the guy in the '52 shot with Bauer and our mystery Yankee. I think they look like the same man.

Looking at the ear shape and the hair, Jim McDonald looks right to me, especially since the notation on the photo back says "McDougald"; McDonald-McDougald is an easy enough mistake to make when labeling a bunch of photos.
Thanks all, I think we have a solution to the mystery.
