(6,359 posts)1. Some of them
Lou Gerhrig is far left end.
Joltin' Joe Dimaggio is 4th from the left.
Second from the right looks like Jimmie Foxx.
I can't guess the others without consulting baseballreference.com

Charlie Gehringer, Jimmy Foxx, Hank Greenberg.
Im guessing it was taken at the 1937 All Star game.
On edit, it was the 37 game. Heres a similar picture in color.

Who was it that said Jimmy Foxx had muscles in his hair? I think it was Bob Feller.

Leo Durocher said of Gehringer that He hadnt missed a tag, or said a word, in 15 years.

"The doctor X rayed my head and found nothing".

(10,514 posts)6. I think that was a headline after Diz was hit in the head
by Billy Rogell when Dean was trying to break up a double play in the 1934 series.
X-RAYS OF DEANS HEAD SHOW NOTHING
On edit, were both right. See the 1:20 mark
