Date/Year
There was no markings as to the date or the year that these photographs were taken. I know the photographer was Frederick A. Kraft Jr. which I believe was with the News American. The other two photos were from early 60's, but I guess that doesn't mean that this particular picture is from that time frame.

OK, From 1955 to 1959, only 2 AL third sackers wore number 17. Chico Carrasquel (ss, 3b) and Rudy Regaldo, who played very little for Cleveland in 55 and 56. So my bet is #17 is Chico Carrasquel, if that is the third baseman covering the bag. Carrasquel had the same physique as #17 in the photo.
He played for CWS in 1955, Clev. in 1956-57, Clev & KC in 1958 and Balt in 1959. Good luck.

Well if it's Carrasquel on 3b it's not Boone sliding-- Boone was only on the A's in 1959 and Chico did not play either of his 2 games at 3b that season against the A's.

I looked through Marc Okonnen's baseball uniform book for clues about the fielder and the AL teams that wore socks with that pattern between '55-'60 seem to be Boston and Baltimore. I don't think he's a Red Sox since the only players to wear 17 during those years were pitchers. Maybe the wheel play was on and Carrasquel was covering?

Walt Dropo played a couple games at third for the Orioles in '59 and '60, and wore No. 17. The guy sliding looks a bit like Bob Cerv, who played for the A's in '59 and early 1960.
