We’re not talking civil war pictures here. I’m sure if you POST THE DARN THING, you know, scan it in and post it here, there will probably be dozens of people who can tell you. Especially if those people turn out to be the names of the people you mentioned. No need to ‘track down living members.’ Sheesh.
Also — did it occur to you to google the name of the suspected player AND ‘topps baseball card’ — i.e. that way you get an idea of what they looked like then?

Could one of them be Manny Ortez?
Ironic Screen Name of the Day Award.
If you post the pic on Baseball Fever, you’ll have an answer in about 3 seconds. Those people can identify ANYONE in bb pics, right down to the umpires in a game from 1926.

From your home page:
“Still, I used to have a different screen name on Free Republic, but needed a fresh start, so if you think you’ve “met” me before, it’s very possible! “
Who were you before, and why did you need a “fresh start”?
One of them might be Francisco Franco.
Tony Conigliaro died a long time ago, a tragic figure whose promising career was cut short after he was hit in the face by a pitch in 1967. Lonborg and Yaz are still alive and were still quite young at the time so they probably will look “boyish”. Yaz had a distinctive face that most Red Sox fans from the era will instantly recognize. Lonborg would be harder since his face looked like almost any mid-20 man from that era. Tony C. had a rounder face but was often confused with Rico Petrocelli, the shortstop. Without seeing the picture, that’s about all I can tell you.
