Default Old ballplayer beefcake - can we name them?

Ran across these going through some of my grandfather's stuff. Thought folks here might enjoy them, since it doesn't seem like there are a lot of old locker room shots. These are press shots from the 1940 locker room celebration after the Tigers won the pennant.

One thing that's interesting is how normal the player physiques are. Clearly they are fit, but even Greenberg isn't exactly rippling like today's ballplayers.

They all look skinny by today's standards.

So can we name these guys? I think that's Bobo Newsom in the top photo on the left, maybe Del Baker next to him. Greenberg down on the bottom photo with shaving cream. Others?
