Thanks Jim---that is some reinforcement of opinion!
Butch--That posting is what caused THIS thread. He won't waiver on his claim of Duke Snider, but he offers no proof. My proof that it ISN'T Duke is based on the "ear match" ID theory, but that's all I have either.

Fred, we hadn't seen the blurry-bleached-blow-up version before, so we thought
it might be relevant to the discussion. We, too, are sure it's not Snider, but we're not at all confident it's Marshall either. Some resemblance to both, yes, but not indisputably convincing to the six eyes here... Can it be (has it been) determined what's on the front of his cap?

Looking at the picture for the first time today. First thing I notice is that player is a New York Giant. based on hat and piping on uniform. So I don't see how this could be The Duke of Flatbush..

It's definitely not the same image as Duke's Eureka stamp.

Re: the Eureka stamp--Duke's face is much more "elongated" than the charm face--notice the distance above the eyes the eyebrows are in each pic. I agree w/ MOST everybody--it's not even close to being Snider. C'mon Bums1953--chime in here and help out!

Kinda thought that was a Giants cap, but couldn't tell for sure.
Taking it as fact that it is a Giants player, then, here's the charm image presented quite inexpertly (but repeatedly!) alongside pics of some other late 1940s-1951 Giants (plus Freddie Fitzsimmons, last a Giant in 1937, and of course a pitcher, but previously suggested as a candidate)...  We know who we'd vote for, and we're 50.1% confident in our choice.
