This picture from training camp is, frankly, lousy. Too much shadow, too blurry…even after my clean-up efforts, it's not hugely useful in letting us see Jack's face. But we don't have a Hamilton/Indians pic in the Pitchers' Pack (although it's not on the UIN list, for whatever reason) so…better than nothing, right?

Okay, not *much* better, I grant you. But still. |
Just a little background on the UIN list for you and others that have joined this community later than some others.
I play another simulation game and I started getting uniforms for each player for each team as a way to improve the images for that game. That game combines player stats that played for two different teams IN THE SAME LEAGUE into one for the season in question. So when I started compiling the list for myself to keep record of what I had and what I didn't have there was no need to get a picture of the respective player on the first team.
There are many instances when this was the only time that the player would play for the first team in question such as this player and the Indians therefore since there was no need for a picture of the player in an Indians uniform it was not recorded on the list as one I needed.
It was not until I discovered this site and started sharing my list with the contributors on this thread that I decided to go ahead and get a picture in every uniform for each player even though I really didn't need all of them.
I have never taken the time to go back and update the list to include these player because I have been working on local high school sports history projects.
Just thought you and others would like to know.
