* There is no identification of the player in the first row and I cannot make out the signature/name on the player in the second row. However, based on the Pueblo team “family” picture posted earlier, I believe these two players are Marvin Williams and Robert Crain. I put Crain in the second row based on his eyebrow (! although the first row player is shaded by his hat), but they could be switched. Welcome any thoughts. I used baseball-reference’s Pueblo roster to confirm the roster and names.

There are four players from the BR roster that appear to be missing from this picture – Bill Mosser, Dick Spady, Chris Van Cuyk and Red Witt. But even with the illegible identification on the player in the second row, I don’t think any of these players are in the picture. But……
Final note – Baseball-Reference shows Clyde Parris as having played in the Negro Leagues and Lacey (Kirk) Curry as born in 1928 but no passing date. I just googled him and whoa – I believe he is still alive (in Chicago). There is a story there!
