There was one player out of these two groups whose photo I lack. He was pitcher Lou Slattery, a non-roster invitee with the 1956 Braves. He can't be ruled out, because no photo comparison has been made, but he was a mighty obscure guy. As best I can tell, he had no minor league career. He is not listed in baseball-reference.com. There seems to be no record of his birth date, or from whence he came. I've seen his surname also spelled as Slatery in newspaper articles.
I think you missed a post..he was IDied as Ron Henry (attached pic as a Twins), Braves MiLB 1955-60
