Sometime ago this picture was posted requesting the identities of the two fellows between Bob Feller on the left and Hal Trosky on the right. The picture is in the possession of the Norway Baseball Museum. SABR member Rich Bowering believes the players are Earl Whitehill (next to Feller) and Hal McKain. All four are Iowa born and former Cleveland Indians. The next step is to identify the date and occasion of the picture. According to Rich the uniforms identify the picture as either the 1936 Cleveland home uniforms or the 1937 road uniforms. The fact that Whitehill played for Cleveland in 1937 but not 1936 dates the picture from 1937 at an away game for the Indians.
