More unknowns, hoping the team can help identify, please.

The Red Harrell looks a lot like Billy Harrell, but never heard him called Red. Is the Joe Washington the football player?

Yes 6th on right as you go down seems to Joe Washington the NFL player

Klrdds 02-17-2021 03:38 PM

Above Joe Washington is the actor Bruce Bennett
3rd row on right is Joe Morrison
5th row on left is Frank Stranahan

aka Herman Brix. He is an Olympic silver medalist in the discus in 1928. Played for University of Washington in the Rose Bowl. Changed his name when he became an actor.

Next to Washington is Bob Uhle. Played for the White Sox 30's-40's.

Next to Bennet is Frank Stranahan (1922-2013) - Known as the "Toledo Strongman" Professional and amatuer golfer. Won the British Amateur twice. 6 wins as a pro. Also a powerlifter ranked first in his weight class 1945-54. Later became a marathoner. Ran 102 marathons

Thanks! No wonder I'm not finding some of these, apparently I have some non-baseball sigs in my baseball box.

Top right looks like Jim Marshall, manager of the Cubs from 1974-76.

4th row on the right is Fermin "Mike" Guerra, catcher for the Senators, A's and Red Sox from 1937-1951.

Last row on the left could be Dave Schmidt; pitched for the Rangers, White Sox, Orioles, Expos and Mariners from 1981-1992.

Last row on the right looks like Tim Hyers, played for the Padres in 1994-95, Tigers in 1996, and the Marlins in 1999.

I believe the 6th on the right that is being identified as Joe Washington is actually Ron Washington, longtime MLB player and manager.

The card directly below the red 3x5 is, I think, Ed Farmer.

First picture bottom right I think is Tommie Sisk, pitcher for the Pirates in the 60s.

I believe Derek is correct about the Washington being Ron, and not Joe.

Funny how obvious some of these are when you guys point them out!

Thanks!

As already stated that is Ron Washington not Joe.

Klrdds 02-18-2021 05:01 PM

Yes I admit my mistake it is Ron Washington NOT Joe Washington.
Thanks for pointing out my error .
My only excuse is that my 61 year old eyes don't focus as quickly as they used to at first glances at objects. That's why I use 5x loupes for my patients.

dgo71 02-18-2021 07:21 PM

Ron deserves the blame for writing an R that so clearly appears to be a J. :p I never quite got how that was supposed to say Ron.

earlywynnfan 02-19-2021 05:44 PM

Thanks for the help. I can't not see the red one as Ted Griffith, but that doesn't pop up anywhere.

dgo71 02-19-2021 05:59 PM

There was an Auburn football player named Lee Griffith. Possibly?

earlywynnfan 02-19-2021 06:51 PM

Hmm, it looks like it could be a Lee, that would be a most impressive identification. Don't see any of him on ebay to compare it to.
