Bobby Mitchell wore #49.
That's Ernie Green.
As a kid I was kind of ticked when Cleveland traded away # 49 to Washington in 1961. Jim Brown + Bobby Mitchell were a dynanite running combo .... oh well.
MEANWHILE ... Under pressure to integrate the team by the U.S. federal government, the Washington Redskins selected Ernie Davis with the first overall pick of the 1962 NFL draft. However, Redskins owner George Preston Marshall, wary of Davis's potential salary demands, traded his rights to the Cleveland Browns for Mitchell and first-round draft pick Leroy Jackson. Unbeknownst to anyone at the time of the draft, Davis had leukemia, and died without ever playing a down in professional football

Wow, that is an amazing photo.
That's the Indians original home, League Park, before most of it was torn down. That's the left field bleachers and the scoreboard in dead center.
