Anyone have any info. on a player by the name of Russ Rose?
I picked up a beauty Nokona J121 and have not been able to find any info. on this player.

I did a little reseach with some newspaper databases and think I found a match. One reference was him playing with Fort Worth of the Texas League in 1950 and another was with the Montreal Royals of the International League in 1953. In both cases he played shortstop. The Texas League connection makes sense as Nokona had other players from this league as endorsers.
