After doing some research Al, I think I know who it is. The Giants didn't have anyone who wore #30 during that time period and I noticed the uniform was different. The socks look more like what the Pirates wore during that era, which would make that Rip Sewell in the background,
Now since that is a 1943 set, the pic was probably taken near the end of the 1942 season when the two teams met in September in NY. Sewell lost 5-0 that day. Ott went 1-for-2, with two walks.

Another with 13 players who were with the Pittsburgh Pirates during the regular season, but never played a game. There's also one about 27 baseball families, as well as a day-by-day look at the worst team in Pittsburgh Pirates history.
