Colorado Springs Sky Sox 1950 Player ID?
I've been trying to identify this player in a Colorado Springs Sky Sox uniform. I bought it off eBay in a collection of 3 players from the 1950 team, but this one was not identified. I've tried to match the face from two team pictures (beginning of season/end of season) but not sure. As there was no ID, I also think it may be a player that did not have a long career. My guess at this point it is either Bill Briggs from the early newspaper team photo (COS Gazette April 23, 1950) or it is Gene Evans from the late season photo. Thoughts?
