This image posted by @mattris one of the later (and less revealing) of a series of shots taken by LIFE magazine photographer George Silk in a Boston Red Sox locker room during the 1956 preseason. The player being helped into his clothes has been identified elsewhere on the internet as Joe Albanese (1933-2000), who was added to the Red Sox major league roster in January '56. Albanese separated his shoulder during spring training and never played a major league game for the Sox. 

In the image below, Albanese tries to explain what happened to a coach who looks as disinterested in excuses as he is in Joe's pubes ...

A cigar-smoking trainer showed a little more compassion, and Joe showed - well - see for yourself ...

history and geography nut that I am, I had to look this address up on Google Maps and Street View and see if it's still around....I believe that now-widened driveway (remember when driveways were two separate strips of narrow concrete!) is the same one as in this current view and Memphis Ave is in the background of the old picture.....I hope Paul and Len lived/are living a long life as proud Buckeyes......safe link:
