Help identifying the NAVY photo?

I guess this photo was taken in 1950s or earlier. Any one knows what time it was taken? Any players can be identified?

    Awesome photo, insanely tough to identify anyone without numbers.

    My sports recollection only stretches back to Staubach and the Navy. Early 1960's.

    Maybe try to match photos with the guy in front middle who I assume was the catcher

    The gentleman in the middle row, third from the right, i think is Paul Newman.

  • Thanks!

    The gentleman in the middle row, farthest left, i think is Bill Clinton.

    Okay, I jumped the shark doing it twice, I admit it. :)

    Did Roger play Baseball? I assume this is a BB team by the glove and bat in the pic. ;)

    Not that I know of.

    My reference was to 'older' Navy guys and becoming pro athletes. ie the admiral- David Robinson is a pro athlete/ navy guy.

    I don't know of any baseball/navy guys.

    I can't seem to identify any of the black ballplayers in the second and third pics.


  • Here is the single player. Anyone can identify?

  • Thank you MLBdays for your comment. My uncle took the NAVY photo. I didn’t know what time he took it. Now I remember that My uncle took another photo then. You are right about the time. Thanks!
