I'm trying to ID the men in this photo. Have any of you seen these guys, probably sports related, the guy on the left has a baseball.

Look like owners to me, possibly broadcasters.

I think the one on the left looks a bit like Nixon back in the 50's.

The one on the right looks a little like Rodney Dangerfield.

Nah, Dangerfield is certainly a possibility, just no way that is Nixon. Eyebrows are way too small for Nixon.

Could be Arnold Rothstein on the right.

Note the eyebrows.

All white guys look alike.

I'm really thinking the guy on the right was a broadcaster for KARE given the Channel 11 and your location. What is on his lapel?

Could be this guy...

Says he was on the call of the first no-hit, no-run baseball game ever broadcast on TV. Seems to have ties to North Dakota as well as KARE-TV which would explain the channel 11 sports.

I did look him up earlier, but his younger photos are not a match for either guy.

I've search kare 11, with no luck. My Minnesota sports guys don't recognize them. I'll send it to the station and check.
