Well, further research indicates that this is the 1947 Indianapolis Clowns team photo. Guess that makes it prety difficult for Aaron to be pictured now.......

If that the correct year I wonder why they used a 1947 photo for a 1952 program ??

It was much more common for Negro League teams to use old photos for their advertising, marketing, etc. Likely, there was much less availability of current photos as compared to Major League Baseball.
