I believe that you were referencing
this Bearman post, picturing Brett in a Red Sox uni. Bearman was not indicating the year the image was taken, but Brett's debut season of 1967.
I've seen many new posters on the forum lately (welcome!, by the way), so it may be a good time to explain the way that several of the more frequent posters title image posts.
Using myself as an example, when I post a player image I always start with the player's name. In some cases I will also include a player's initial to differentiate, say, between the two players called Frank Thomas (Frank J., who played from 1951-66, or Frank E., who played from 1990-2008). I also include the player's debut year. Again in the case of Frank Thomas, a post showing Frank J. Thomas (for example
my recent post showing him in an Astros uniform) would be titled Frank J. Thomas 1951, even though the image in the post was from 1965. Wherever possible I try to note the image year in the body of the post.
Using the debut year is a common way many forum users identify and catalog players, and matches the format of the
facepack, which organizes player images by debut year.
Many of us also use additional keywords or acronyms in our posts to help alert other users who look for specific images. Some of the more common are:
MISSING PLAYER, which indicates that the posted image shows a player included on the latest
Missing Player List. Before adding a missing player to the facepack, I may ask anyone who posts a missing player image for some background information on the image so I can properly document its source.
Facepack upgrade, which indicates that the posted image is clearer or more identifiable than the current image in the facepack.
UNI, which indicates that the posted image shows the player in a uniform that is not included in the Pegasus27 batters or pitchers packs.
Alt Uni, which indicates that an image of the player in that uniform is included in a Pegasus27 pack, but some may prefer to use the posted image.
UIN, which indicates that the player/uniform combination is listed on
Pegasus27's Uniforms I Need list.
I hope this helps to make sense of some of the cryptic posts on the forum, and again my thanks to everyone who shares images and helps with the projects we're working on here.
