Need help identifying 1950-era possible MLB players

1 Attachment(s)

This photo is from Gil (& Joan) Hodges' wedding on December 26th, 1948.
To Gil's immediate left is Ralph Branca, and to Branca's immediate left is Eddie Miksis.

Does anyone know if there are any other MLB players in this photo?

Any help would be deeply appreciated.

Ralph Branca next to Hodges

Looks like Eddie Miksis is next to Branca

No idea on the short guy. Maybe not a player.

Thanks, but as I indicated in my initial post....
THOSE ARE THE TWO GUYS THAT I ALREADY KNOW.
Any idea on the rest of the guys?
Anybody?

I've got no basis in facts for this, but my guess is that the four guys on the left were from the bride's side of the family. They just don't look like ballplayers - whatever that is.

I found this in a book about Gil
