I attended the Cubs/ Yankees game Wednesday afternoon at Wrigley. There's a table & showcase set up inside the park with game used stuff, signed memorabilia by Banks, Williams, Jenkins etc... They also sell old line up cards that the are taped up in the dug out. I noticed one set off to the side, it was the Cubs vs Yankees from Yankee Stadium from April 6th, asked the price and bought it. There's only one for each dugout. I asked about the lineup cards from the games played at Wrigley (2), they're going to auction starting at $500 I was told.

Picked up this photo of the Marine baseball team at Pearl Harbor in 1944. I know Gil Hodges was stationed there in that time frame, and the player in the back row, 2nd from left looks like him. Any thoughts?

Great photo, but that's not Gil -- way too short for one thing.

+1 This marine is too small in stature to be Gil Hodges.

Thanks, I thought he was a little small, but facial characteristics are similar. Here are a few PC's I picked up yesterday with the Marine photo:

Questions and discussion taken offline.

(Not trying to be secretive or anything, but the picture itself is not in great shape - my questions involved restoration and I realized it wouldn't be of much interest to anyone).
