Amazing.

Looks like he was working in the off season. I wonder what his job was?

Back in the days, most ALL ballplayers worked between seasons...back when sports were sports, not businesses.

He looks more like a foot ball player than baseball

That's a railroad baggage wagon for passenger trains. My job during the mid-sixties was baggage man / mail handler for the IC and the wagons were the same then too.

(There is a lot of info online about this aircraft 44-44052) B-24J Liberator bomber with "All American" nose art. I believe the other side had a 'beer' nose art, including a clothed woman sitting atop a globe. She had been in service (1968 thru 1981, I believe) with the Indian Air Force, When brought to the U.S. she was badly scavenged. She eventually became part of the Collings Foundation's annual "Wings of Freedom Tour" of the United States, visiting 100 cities along with the B-17 "Nine-O-Nine", TP-51C dual-seat Razorback Mustang Fighter "Betty Jane", and now other aircraft. The tour visits San Diego every year. I volunteered and flew in her numerous times when she was painted to honor the WWII aircraft of note, "Dragon and his Tail", and later (flying still in Feb., 2019) repainted as "Witchcraft".

I have crewed on this B-24 serial number 44-44052 for the Collings Foundation, during the annual "Wings of Freedom Tour" of the United States. Restored by Collings, she is the only B-24J Liberator bomber flying today, repainted now in the colors of a famous WWII bomber "Witchcraft" www.collingsfoundation.org/aircrafts/consolidated-b-24-li... … she was also once painted in the colors of "Dragon and His Tail", another famous WWII B-24 bomber. Extensive history and photos OF THIS AIRCRAFT can be found online by Googling "B-24 All American" AND "B-24J Witchcraft" or "Dragon and His Tail", along with www.cfdn.org
