Don't recognize these players but the glove is very cool. It's a Wilson Sarge Connally with joined fingers/extended palm.

Red Ruffing and Joe DiMaggio in 1939. Red's glove is the very cool Rawlings BH.

The Sarge Connelly and Billy Herman models are nice finds! The Herman model with the finger lacing on the front is pretty cool.

Thanks Mike. I've found many photos of pro's using Rawlings and Spalding 6-finger gloves back in the 1960's but none with Wilson's take on it. Wilson debuted the Big 6 /Ball Hawk 6 in 1961 and '62. It was TOTL selling for the same price as an A2000, but by '63 it was replaced by mid and lower line models and discontinued entirely after '64. Here's pitcher Ray Narleski with his in 1961.

Don Mossi, Ray Narleski's teammate in Cleveland and Detroit was a Nokona endorser. I don't know if his model from JD's glove gallery is the same as the one in the photo, though it looks similar.
