Yep..that's Mickey Cochrane...and that's Barney McCoskey standing right next to him. Nice pickup.

The Ebay seller said it is from 1935 based on the model of Ford, which if so is 4 years before McCoskey made the majors.

The Ford V-8 team played against a local team from Traverse City, Michigan

I'm 100% convinced that is Barney McCoskey...almost all the rest of those guys were minor leaguers in the mid 1930s...mostly from the Mid Atlantic and Piedmont Leagues.

Well as Jimmy and I always think alike I was able to work a nice deal on 4 Gehrigs. First from 1928,second from 1936 Thirdfrom 1938 and the fourth from 1935. The 1938 photo has a nice caption but hard to read "Lou Gehrig
veterian new york yankee first baseman who will see action with the american league champions in the coming world series. Dated 9/26/38 This would be Lous last world series as he finished 4 for 14 with 4 singles in the series. A sad time for all yankee fans.
