I don't see the resemblance, and it's obviously not the same picture.
My two cents:
I believe it is more likely a right-handed batter being shown in follow through than a lefty hitter. It seems to me more probable that in these "action" poses a lefty has his bat up and either on or over the shoulder, and not in mid or check-swing mode. Hardly scientific I know, but that's how I see this one-- a righty having completed his swing and watching where the ball went rather than a lefty watching the pitch coming in and focusing on making contact halfway through his swing.

As for the BIG Book, the charm listing is far from correct or complete.

I certainly agree that it could be a righty & may be a reason we haven't found the original photo so far.

If we could come up w/ some more possible names I'm convinced we could find the photo that fits!

Rog that but does anyone have a complete listing? Probably impossible.

What makes that tough to do is (1) every so often I see a new one, and (2) I have run into some I thought were new, but turned out they were hand-cut from a pub & not a real mini-photo on Kodak paper.

I would guess Mickey Witek, but haven't found the original image yet so I'm not sure.

If it turned out to be Witek, he would be the most obscure player on a charm. I don't think I've ever heard of him.

Yeah, seems like an odd choice to me too, but he had a good season before the war. Maybe he was a popular player in New York trying to come back. Before my time...

The jawline, ears and eyebrows match to me, but who knows.
