I just received this in the mail from MurphDawg (thanks Matt) and am thinking about trying to collect signatures of all of the players in the photo (obviously not *on* the photo image) and creating a matted peice. I think I have IDed all of the players but was hoping you could help me ID the ones that I have wrong. From left to right:

1. Pee Wee Reese
2. Carl Furillo (?)
3. Jackie Robinson
4. Carl Erskine
5. Gil Hodges
6. Joe Black
7. Duke Snider
8. Roy Campanella

    Sorry, I can't help you.

    But I will say that's an awesome photo image

    Thanks for sharing image
    So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts

    That is one of the most classic of baseball photos. It was originally shot for SPORT Magazine.

    From the SPORT Gallery web site:
    This is the quintessential timeless shot of The Boys of Summer, made famous by Roger Kahn's book of the same name. Shot exclusively for SPORT magazine by photographer George Heyer, this authentic image, hand printed from the original slide, captures the camaraderie of the Brooklyn Dodgers at the Ebbets Field batting cage early in the 1955 season. Included in this classic, hand printed image are Pee Wee Reese, Carl Furillo, Jackie Robinson, Carl Erskine, Gil Hodges, Don Newcombe, Duke Snider and Roy Campanella.
