A few comments on the great photos posted over the last five or so pages by UK Baseball Fan.
Pitcher Jack Kraus (Page 1140) was probably better known as "Tex" Kraus.

Pitcher Lou Lucier (Page 1141) died less than two weeks ago at the age of 96 years, 7 months Wikipedia listed him as the 7th oldest currently living major leaguer up until the time of his passing.

Luis Olmo (Pg. 1141) is 95 and is among the 15 oldest living major leaguers. (Wikipedia list). Olmo never made an all-star team, bur one baseball website has retroactively awarded him all-star status for 1945. He had his best season in 1945, the year that the all-star game was not played due to Wartime Travel restrictions. For the 1940s he was a rare Puerto Rican major leaguer.
