Is there a studio name on the cabinet? Doesn't look like any Millers logos I've seen, but then again, I haven't seen them all. It would also be good to know where the phot came from, i.e. a family that lived in Minneapolis in the era, etc |

Stew Thornley of the local SABR group in the Twin Cities wrote a book a while back called "On to Nicolett"The Glory and fame of the Minneapolis Millers". Available in Amazon I believe. I suppose your only hope on this would be to pick up the book, and see if you can find matching uni's, hats, faces etc. etc. I used to be in that SABR group with Stew, and I can assure you, the book will be informative, and accurate. As Stew is a stickler for detail. I haven't read this book. I should have, but just didn't. I probably will now...Good Luck |

I've been to his Web site and it doesn't have any photos. Unfortunately, by the time I could get the book from Amazon, I think the photo will be gone...! |

I'm no Minneapolis Millers expert, but, offhand, I would think an important minor league team would have more players. The MLB team used the Millers to train and test the talent. I've seen a few Millers team photos over the years, and they were always posed formally, like a Major League team, on the field or in the stands. |

You forgot McCovey and Cepeda I used to ahve a run of Millers and Saints team photos from 1930-60. They came from a former umpire who used to work the Millers and Saints games. The 1951 photo I had did not feature Mays as the photos weres give aways for the radio picture day sponsored by the radio braodcaster. Mays only played early in the year. |

The number of players is also causing me to think twice, David, but then I saw the photo also posted above by Frank. |

The other thing that worries me is that I can't recall seeing a uniform that had just an M logo. They always seemed to have unis with Minneapolis on it. |

I didn't even notice the sig at first and was going to say it looks like a young Ted Williams in a Millers uniform |

Williams looks feminine and/or Asian in that photo. |

Naw...he looks more like a guy who had the potential to hit .406. Miss three years of his prime time, and still hit, oh I don't know, maybe about 521 home runs....looks like he could be a star. No steriods....and he was patriotic. Let's take a chance on him. I think he'll work out just fine. |

He's pretty skinny though. Bulking up might do him some good |

Now, according to the seller, he made the identification of the original photo I posted becasue the following is written on the back of the photo: "Lake Case, MN" |
