Initially, I was going to remark about the carefully wrapped hand that Roy Campanella appears to be systematically undoing. Then I noticed the fellow overlooking the Hall of Fame catcher, and realized that it's longtime Dodger manager Walter Alston. He just looks so young I barely recognized him.
The United Press photo was taken during the early part of the 1954 season when Alston was a rookie manager for the Brooklyn Dodgers. He could not have known at this time that he would eventually lead the club to their first championship the following season, so I imagine the concerned look on his face was filled with thoughts of a doomed rookie campaign.
