Dons …
These players were part of the 1958 Pensacola Dons. The first player is Neb or Ned ( not sure which ) Wilson.
The player above named ” Deer ” . And below is another photo of the same player.
I wish that I had more info on these two players, but this is a new post … I had not posted these players ( or that many individuals ) on the previous blog. I had just run across a bag that contained maybe 50 or so 4×5 negatives of the 1958 team in the past month of so. They are not in very good shape and will require a lot of work to get them up to this level. As I find out information on these players and the Dons in general, I plan on updating these posts. So bear with me on the info … anyone that has anything is welcome to share. Thanks again for looking.
Somewhere, I have a baseball that I got at one of the games signed by all the Dons. If I find it, I’ll post the names.

I would rather see a photo of the ball. I put my email in an earlier comment to you. If you cannot and live in Pensacola, let me know and I could meet you somewhere and photograph it. Thanks again … Frank
