March Pickups

I picked up this 1954 movie photo from the movie Strategic Air Command featuring the St. Louis Cardinals today. I know the one player is Stan Musial, does anyone recognize the other two? Also, I am very certain it is original, and I am willing to take offers on it, if anyone is interested.

The guy on the left looks like Eddie Stanky, I think he was their manager at that time. The guy in the middle looks older than Stanky, so he might also be a coach.

The photo reads 1954 at the bottom I think...

You know, I think it is Eddie Stanky and Mike Ryba. Thanks.

I'm confused. Which player do you think is Stan Musial?? He's not in this picture and I'm pretty sure that's Enos Slaughter on the right.

Well, after digging a little into the movie, these were the players that appear in the film:

"Peanuts" Lowrey; Memo Luna; Stan Musial; Red Schoendienst; and Enos Slaughter

So, you could be right, one problem with profile pictures is they don't always look the same as full face. I still think that is Musial, the beak looking nose looks to me like Musial's. I am not an expert, to be sure. Anyone else out there, what do you think?

Dude, come on. That is NOT Stan Musial. It is in fact Enos Slaughter. Look at him!!
Two of these photographs show him older and pretty gaunt, but look how he has the exact same smile in each picture. Same ear, same nose, same small gap in his teeth on his left side, same cheeks, same sideburn cut and hair. And look at those hairy arms!! it doesn't look anything like Stan the Man!!

Just messing with you a bit, I had already been "corrected" from my original post, which I put in the wrong section:

Like I said in that post, just looking real fast, and not really a Cards fan, and knowing that Slaughter wasn't a Card at the time (1954), anyway...sorry for doubting you. I bow to you as the more experter guy!

You are correct, Sir! (and who the heck are the other two dudes?)

Sorry, I get a little crazy with pics sometimes. On the other side of the board, it seems whenever someone asks, "Who is this?" in a picture, 99.99% of the responses are so off the mark and not even close, that it drives me nuts!!
