Outfielder Sam Segraves was with the 1942 Cleveland Buckeyes and Memphis Red Sox, and also with the 1943 Cincinnati Clowns. The photo is from the seamheads.com website.

I think this is the same player who showed up in the 1950's as a catcher with Indianapolis under the name Sam Seagraves. His photo was posted on this thread in September, 2014.

A photo of Tiant, Sr. was posted on this thread in May of 2011 which may have shown him with the New York Cubans, but the team identification was not as definitive as this one.

He became a well-known detective, and was known as a "tough cop." He served as a Camden City Councilman from 1969 until 1983.

The attached photo is from the Camden Courier-Post of Nov. 4, 1970.

While I'm sure there was no ill intent, you might want to correct your spelling (in both the header and post). The lady's name was "Mamie". Doubling the "m" changes the sound of the "a" and the word becomes something at least potentially offensive. Just sayin'.
