Help identifying Hearst US Allstar jersey to player (1958?)

[adc0317]

Images from 1946 are great. I have a copy of the 1962 program. I will check about 1958. I have spoken with Len Merullo, who played in the game, as well as his son Matt, who played with the White Sox. Matt had a picture of the U. S. All-Stars that was taken at the hotel. Not sure if he has a program. I touched base with the Yankees to see if they had anything (games played at Stadium from 1959 through 1965), but they didn't keep the programs.

1953 Hearst Program. I picked it up because the Globetrotters played that year vs a group of US NBA Stars. Nice program has history of past games and Rosters and couple nice shots of Maranvill and C. Gehringer. Who managed the youngsters that year.
One tidbit I gleaned was the "Lou Gehrig Trophy" presented to the games MVP was in 1951 given to a young man named Al Kaline..
Pictures if The Globetrotters and both the US and NY teams. But no pics of the NBA stars...?

I was able to take pictures of a copy of this program. The person who had the program was Jimmy McElroy a longtime figure in sandlot baseball in Brooklyn. One of the Globetrotters, Reece Tatum, was a pretty good baseball player in his day. I am not sure if he ever played baseball at the Polo Grounds.
