Emmett,

A cursory check through the 1947 team, and then a cross check with the 1947
team roster at http://www.Baseball-Almanac.com reveals 5 players still living
from the 1947 team:

Scott Cary
Gil Coan
Cal Ermer
Buddy Lewis
Eddie Yost

Is that sufficient? I'll check the '44 and '45 if that would help.
