Reynaldo Verdes Drake, OF is shown in the uniform of the Indianapolis Clowns. This is an improved photo over the one previously posted of him in a Clowns uniform. The caption for this photo named this player "Reinaldo Verde." No such player is listed in any register or encyclopedia of the Negro Leagues. Reynaldo Verdes Drake was on the Clowns in 1947 when this photo was taken. It's too much of a coincidence for the player not to be Drake. Manuel Godinez was also in both photos I have of Drake and "Verde" and the height comparisons seem to be the same.
