Ryan ChristoffDan,
That's a great photo whether or not the player and/or team is ever identified.
I'm a little reluctant to believe the "Good Year" team was affiliated with Goodyear Tires. It was probably some local semi-pro team sponsored by the local "Good Year Bakery" or "Good Year Ice Cream Parlor" or whatever.
I can't say I recognize the player, but it does look similar to a young Roy Welmaker from the early 1940's when he had a mustache. I don't believe it's him, though.
Is that a number 33 by his right foot? The style it was written in looks similar to Hooks Brothers photographers from Memphis. Are there any markings on the back? I'd love to see the other 32 photos in that series. Probably some amazing baseball images if this one is any indication.
