I was rummaging through my uncle Vic's old baseball stuff the other day and stumbled upon a copy of Baseball Magazine from April 1933. Here is a scan of the cover. Take a guess at the player's name. -

Also, any resemblance of the fictional players to real, living, or otherwise individuals is purely coincidental. The only real name intentionally used is that of Vic Chestnut, the PPBA founder, commissioner, and my late great uncle. So, without further ado, I present the...
