			#18 was a Dodger for 18 years, but his rookie season was the only chance you had to see Ropes with "Los Angeles" across his chest—the team switched to "Dodgers" on the road uniforms for the 1970 season, and didn't switch back to "Los Angeles" until 2000.  So that's what makes this pic different. 
 
And doesn't Bill look young?  (Age 20 here.)
