I think on the far right is George Sisler, then Collins, Home Run Baker, Wagner, Bill Dickey I think, Mack, Grove, Johnson, Speaker, Ruth, and Al Simmons.

A better scan would probably help, but I'm pretty sure about most of those identifications.

I agree with Graig that the one on the far right is George Sisler. I just couldn't think of any other Browns HOFers, other than Hornsby.

It does bear a slight resemblance to Ferrell, but I think Sisler is more likely. Ferrell's last game was in September 1947, and The Babe died in August 1948. Sisler's last game was in 1930. Babe was pretty emaciated towards the end of his life, so I highly doubt the picture is from 1948. If it was any earlier than that, Ferrell would've still been an active player, so why would he have been in this photo with the all-time greats, especially since he is a "borderline" HOFer as it is.

Not to mention that Johnson, I believe, was the first one to pass from this group. Ferrell would have had to been playing. This picture had to be taken before 1946.

This was in commemoration of Connie Mack's 50th anniversary as a manager, and took place on August 4, 1944. Here's a great article on the event.

Here's a picture of Frank Baker with Joe D and Mickey Mantle (it looks like a match to me):

By the players in the picture, I would think this is from the mid 40's correct?

That's my guess also, especially looking at The Babe and Honus.
