Default Baseball Photo help (slightly OT)

Bought this today cheaply for no other reason than it was a cool shot from Baker Bowl in around 1950. It shows two players (coaches most likely) in uniform and a third person holding a hat. Anybody have any ideas on the others? Thanks in advance.
Joshua

Pretty confident that's Jimmy Dykes on the right and Al Simmons on the left. Doesn't look like Foxx at all to me.

Also, Dykes was manager from 1951 to 1953, so I would assume the pic to be during that time frame. That might also help figure out the guy in the middle.

Simmons and Dykes last played for the A's in 1932, so it might be someone from that year.

It's time to bump this because it is driving me crazy. I'll completely ignore the ridiculous claim that the guy looks like Jimmie Foxx, but he looks incredibly familiar to me and I'm pulling my hair out trying to place him. Somebody here knows exactly who this is. Come on, guys!!!!

Default Looks Like an age-appropiate

...it looks like Wally Moses , who was involved with the Athletics for at least 30 years , coaching in the 50's ......and I don't remember palm trees growing behind the puny bleachers at the " Baker Bowl " ??......but they sure have them at Spring Training in sunny F L A...great photo....were there others ?

This is what I'm talking about. Why do people just throw random player names out there?? Did you look at a single photo of Wally Moses?? It doesn't have any similarity to him whatsoever. None. Nada. Zip. Not even frickin' close!!!!!!!!! God.

There were a few other pictures including some featuring Connie Mack...I did not think it was Baker Bowl when I first saw the photos but the pic had a sticker claiming it was 1950ish Baker Bowl. Not sure the value but the Mack photos were around $20 apiece.
