Terry Cox 1970

Terry Cox made only three ML appearances, all in September 1970. Here is his picture in the Pitchers Pack.

As you can see, it's from a farther angle than we'd like for the size, and appears to be a poor-quality reproduction of a larger original.

So pegasus27 was apparently looking for a better option, and in June he found and posted this image (page 515 of the thread):

A damn good picture. Only problem is that Cox is wearing the wrong hat. The lowercase "a" shows that this picture is from 1971 Spring Training. (And late in the camp at that; I have a bit of a fascination with the '71 [Slipped] Halos, and I spent some time looking for lowercase pics of Tony Conigliaro [aside from the one in the Batters Pack]; most of Tony's Angels images show him wearing the 1970 uniform during Spring Training; apparently Cox got his lowercase-"a" hat just before he got his ticket to Salt Lake City.)

So, for the sake of…well, myself, and any other obsessives who think it's incredibly important to have the Terry Coxes of the world wearing their proper hats, I present the original of the Pitchers Pack image in three sizes. Unfortunately the watermark comes right up to Cox's chin , but at least he's wearing the right hat.
