The photos are of Hank Greenberg 1937 and 1947, Red Barber 1940, Yankee catchers 1953, Ernie Lombardi 1935, Joe Gordon 1940, Joe Cronin and teammates 1933 World Series, Harry Carey and Billy Herman 1947, Billy Herman at spring training in Cuba 1942, Ralph Kiner at Ebbets Field 1950, Joe Morgan and Sonny Jackson 1967, and Elroy Face 1958.
