I'd swear it was Shirley; has to be. The number 27 is on his glove, not one he ever wore in NY. Butch Wynegar wore 27 nearly all of Shirley's time on the club, and Butch was a righty. According to Retrosheet he never played a defensive position other than catcher while with the Yankees but he probably still had a regular glove. Maybe Shirley picked up a glove that was laying nearby?
