Hello. Anyone out there consider themselves to be experts on The Brooklyn Dodgers or The NY Giants and identifying players by face alone? I've been hitting brick walls and could use some expert help on this. I've attached sections of the two images in question. If you think you could give me a hand here, I'll gladly make you an 8x10 glossy of the image of your choice.
Thanks,
Youngwing

Which Dodgers in the picture were you looking to identify?

I think I see Joe Medwick in the Dodgers picture, so that would narrow it down to have been taken between 1940-1943, and since I don't see Jackie Robinson....


I can study it further, but it may take some time.

New York Giants Pictures (1883-1958)

Brooklyn Dodgers Pictures (1890-1957)

Those might help you as well.

If anyone can narrow it down to an exact year, that would also be helpful.

Thanks for the speedy response!
I'd like to identify all of them. I have two negatives; both have Lombardi with the three suited guys, one with the Giants on the right and the other with The Dodgers on the left. A friend put me in contact with Buzzie Bavasi who had me email him both images. Below is what Mr. Bavasi had to say about the year and naming some of the people in the Dodger photo:
The Ernie Lombardi picture must have been taken about 1944. The folks with the suits are not the Giant office staff, but fans. Never saw them before. As for
the Dodger picture, that too was taken about the same
time.. Augie Galan, Dixie Walker, Red Corriden, Hal
Gregg, Joe Hatten, Ed Miksis, Tommy Brown, Charlie
Dressen, Frenchie Bordagaray . Best I can do...
Best....Buzzie"
The problem I'm having is matching these names to the faces. As for the Giants photo, I haven't gotten very far... Lombardi's the only one I've got, but that was easy; (you only need to see one picture of "the Schnozz" and you'll never forget him!)
I hope this helps. I really appreciate your interest.
Thanks

P.S.- With all respect, I thank Mr. Bavasi for his invaluable help.
