My source of Expos pictures.

[QUOTE=Amazin69;3390133]Awesome! I'd been trying to find a pic of Fred Whitfield as an Expo (I'm doing a 1959 Cardinals game [yep, The Long Season was the impetus] and in 1960 [my version of] Fred just graduated to Rochester after tearing up Tulsa), so that makes me quite happy. Expos 1969-2004, what's your source for these older B/W pictures, if I might ask?

Born in the province of Quebec in 1954, I discovered baseball in 1962 (Yankees and Elston Howard fan.) In 1969 the Expos played their first game. I followed them from the start until the sad ending in 2004. Six years ago I began purchasing Expos stuff on eBay (cards and magazines mostly). I started a picture collection of every player on the Expos all-time roster. Some help came when I found this magazine published in 1979. It contains a photo and a small resume of every player who played at least a game for the team. If the magazine is complete, it comes with a poster featuring all the players (B/W headshots) to this date.

Unfortunately, this good idea was forgotten after that. So, no special number of this kind for the other decades. I will be able to help a little bit for 1979 and after but some names on Pegasus27 UIN list are also on my want list.

Thanks for the picture. I will place it in my "prospects" file (never played a game but could have...)
