1935 Burke Photos - Identification Help

Brandon -

Is that a mole on his face?

Because I don't see a similar mole on the person on the stamp.

edit: it sure does look like him otherwise.

I'm sure that it's not but i did find something better....If you do a search on this site under gashouse gang you will find an archived thread called "lets see your gashouse gang". Go to page 6 of this thread and you will see that Frank Wakefield has the same picture you do with Walker sitting down maybe in the dugout? Sorry i cant figure out how to link this directly to your thread but this might help a little more.

Thanks Brandon.

Thats Bill Walker for sure!

Its the same photo.

We are down to 6.

I am leaning toward calling the "Cotton" one - "Cotton" Bogren who was the clubhouse boy for the Cubs at the time (and then went on to be head groundskeeper for many years).

There is a stamp of the Cubs bat boy Gilly Hasbrook - so I don't see why there couldn't be one of the Cubs clubhouse boy (although I wish I had some more evidence).


edit: anybody know the names of the bat boy and clubhouse boy for the White Sox in 1935?? I bet thats who the two White Sox players are. With their sig on the stamp - all we need is name confirmation.

I understand this isn't a side view of him as in your burke photo and am still trying to find a more accurate picture of rothrock(it seems nearly impossible)...but here is one that you might see some resemblance...

Brandon -

it really does look just like him. I have to bet it is him.

I wish I had a side-view photo to compare with though!

This one is just listed up on ebay and can't link pic but if u click on it and maximize it's pretty darn close to your picture. I'm obviously a collector of old cardinal items and just couldn't stop looking for something without coming close to convincing you! It's been enjoyable looking for these and best wishes on the rest of your remaining photos. Regards, Brandon
