#4 has got to be Sandy Koufax.
And I think #16 is Jackie Robinson.
Number 18: Mickey Mantle?
Number 23: Hank Aaron?

That's a good guess, but It's not Lou Gehrig. This guy was a pitcher and came along before Lou Gehrig did.

I didn't recognize Jim Palmer without being in his underwear. :D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Many, many, MANY moons ago, my first husband & I used to go to this sport bar. In the ladies room was a GIANT poster of Jim in his underwear. All the women used to joke that the men didn't know why we took so long in there-as we were ADMIRING the decor. :D :D ;D ;D ;D ;D

So, for my next baseball quiz, I'll have all the athletes dressed like this below, with their face blacked out, and you have to guess the athlete.

#3 is Hank Aaron, #6 is Frank Robinson 2 for you.
I guess we do have some baseball fans here. So I think I might do a 2nd quiz once this one is over, and I will try and stay away from (before 1960) players.
