There are also some great articles from the day, with several regarding Gehrig, DiMaggio and Dizzy Dean.

Since everyone has been so helpful with the Sports Stamps, maybe some members might help identify a couple of players in a photo I have. A few years ago I acquired several personal photos and ephemera that belonged to Jimmie Wilson. Wilson passed away in 1947. All the items were authentic and original from the period. The photo in question is a picture of Wilson, Bob Feller in uniform and 2 other people I just can't recognize. Maybe someone out there can assist. Maybe it needs to be a separate post, I'm not sure. Regardless, attached is the photo. I greatly appreciate any thoughts on who the other people are. I believe the photo was taken in Florida at a Spring Training session probably around 43-45 period. If this should be a different thread I apologize. Thanks.

Are you sure Bob Feller is in this photo? I don't see him; he was fighting WWII in 1943-45.

Yes, Jimmie Wilson is on the right and Bob Feller is sitting next to him in the Naval uniform. It's the other 2 gents I can't identify.

An interesting piece of history is Jimmie Wilson's son, 2dLt Robert J. Wilson, was a casualty of WWII. He served in the Army Air Forces and died in a plane crash on November 28, 1944. Jimmie died a few years later in 1947. May they both RIP.
