For Fred and Bob...

90. Suspended Chime-in-ation
Taking too long to write a post, so when you finally hit ‘submit,’ you see that someone else has already either said the same thing as you or posted answers to the questions you were asking.



For everyone, here's a closer look at the pair of unknown Dodgers...

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

The player on the right here is Curt Davis. He could be the player on the right of the composite I posted, and he has a 'matching' telltale scar or oddity on his chin that appears in many photos of him found on-line...

A lot of similarities (including hat brim bend, mouth tilt, facial expression, etc.), so possibly Freddie Fitzsimmons (although he may seem a bit chubbier here, but the other pic is heavily shadowed, so it might be the same 'weight') being the other guy??

Leaning on the bat has a Billy Herman/Freddie Fitzsimmons look about him for sure. I lean Freddie, but the bat pose makes me think of Herman.

Wait, you could've provided higher-def scans from the beginning????
I want those 20 hours of my life back that I spent doing everything humanly possible to try to make those faces even remotely identifiable!!!!!

Sorry about that! I always try to limit the resolution so it does not show as too large on most screens. Here are scans at 600 DPI for the two unidentified photos. Thank you for any help you or anyone else can provide (and for your help with the low resolution/crappy scans).

The strangest thing about the 'leaning on bat' guy (as blurry and shadowed as it is) is he weirdly bears a strong resemblance to my very proudly Italian friend, Anthony. Freddie Fitzsimmons could easily be mistaken for Italian (if he isn't, I mean), but doesn't look anything like my buddy. (How's that for visual science?)

Still 'could' be Fitzsimmons, but maybe/probably not.
