Please help ID these Cleveland Indians (1940s)
 

I bought a collection of miscellaneous stuff that included four large snapshots of Cleveland players. This one I know is Paige:

But I need to ID these players:

photo number 2 is lou boudreau, pitcher is bob feller

Cool Snaps!
 

Interesting photos. The Feller snapshot is the same photo as his 1952 Berk Ross card, and the previously ID'd Boudreau snapshot is the same as a late 1940s Team Issue Postcard. I think the last snapshot is also Boudreau.

i also thought the 3rd snapshot was boudreau but wasn’t as sure as I was about the other two, so I held back on that one. Glad someone else thinks the same.

Thanks for the input and the positive card based IDs on the two. I really appreciate the expertise here. I agree the final one is Boudreau too.

Now for the next question: since the Feller and first Boudreau are the same as the card photos, any idea why they are in snapshot form? Was there a snapshot team issue? Did the photographer retain rights and make his own? They are so crisp and clean that they are definitely first gen. I know I've seen another Paige snapshot of similar format and clarity that was sold in Hake's from the Merkin Collection and appeared to have some professional use, so I am thinking these are somehow related. The collection I bought looks like it was assembled around 1980-1985. The last cards in it were 1984 local LA regionals. If that helps. I know its all speculative but they are great photos.
