My initial thought was that it was Stanage but on further review I believe it to be Tubby Spencer I would be grateful if that identification could be confirmed or if incorrect an alternate identification of the correct player.
Thank you.

The player doesn't look like Stanage or Yelle to me. I've attached a photo of a younger Tubby Spencer in a St. Louis Browns uniform, showing him with a similar expression on his face.

The photo in question is neither Stanage nor Spencer. It is coach Jimmy Burke.
