Is that Pete Rose in the stands, upper left?

Yeah, you can see the 14 on the jersey. Not sure who the man in the briefcase is supposed to be. It's not Landis or Manfred

Anyone got any ideas who the Boston Red Sox player sitting in front of Hank is?

OP

not shitting on your picture, i think it's cool as hell and wouldn't mind a print of it, if it's being sold.

I'm just saying if you are a big baseball fan, especially 40ish+, you should know almost all of them.

The two guys in the right corner of the dugout would be possibly Berra and Musial.

Would have been great if they would have put Musial and Griffey Jr. together. Both share a birthday, born in the same small town in PA, and Musial played ball with Griffey's grandfather.

That is Johnson and Ryan. I wished they would have used Ryan in his Rangers #34. Would have been cool to have the passing of the torch so to speak of two of the franchises best pitchers.

Babe Ruth hangs with Shoeless Joe Jackson (as the Babe said he based his swing on Joe's - the ultimate compliment). In the dug out (centre) are the heroes of 1941. Joe DiMaggio finally helps Ted Williams take his hat off to the fans!

quote:

Honus Wagner smirks stares down Ty Cobb after giving him a fat lip (on behalf of many players from his era). He famously dipped his shoulder as Ty slid into base with spikes up, giving Ty a bloodied lip. In the dugout (at right) Yogi Berra, Stan Musial and Cy Young see the humour in this!

quote:

Hank Aaron and Roberto Clemente lend support to a tired looking Jackie Robinson, reassuring him that the burden he carried for so many, and the ground that he broke, is both acknowledged and appreciated.

quote:

Sitting on the dugout roof, Sandy Koufax nurses an iced left elbow with Greg Maddux and Christy Mathewson. Two express pitchers, Walter "The Big Train" Johnson and Nolan "the Ryan Express" Ryan shake hands on the dug out roof. Just below them in the background seats are myself and the collector deep in discussion about what lies in front of us.

The quiet achievers and record breakers Lou Gehrig, Derek Jeter and Cal Ripken Jnr, look on at this elite group.

And poor old Pete Rose sits back in the stands disguised as the janitor just to get in on this magical moment.

Famous photographer of the early 1900's Charles Conlan comes down the steps to set up for a formal portrait.

Bob Gibson Guy gets so little credit, and is one of best pitchers in MLB history.

The backstory and why players and groupings were chosen is just plain awesome. I need this print framed in my man cave. $150 plus shipping doesn't seem too bad, I haven't gotten myself anything for Christmas yet.
