I'm reasonably sure that the player on the right is Frank J. Thomas. The uniform is from the 1956-1960 period. Thomas wore #15 in 1959.
The player on the left stumped me. The uniform in that case was from the 1961-1966 period. His chin and very deep dimples matched those of Larry Himes, who was on the Reds' spring rosters in 1962, 1963, and 1964. But the head shape and smile didn't quite seem to fit. They looked a little more like Andy Rubilotto, who was a non-roster invitee with the Reds in 1962, but he didn't have the deep dimple.
A photo of the player on the left is shown on the left and a photo of Larry Himes is shown for comparison.
