Here's an obscure request!

I don't remember the details, but I clearly remember Bobby Valentine with the Pirates in Spring Training 1975. I don't think he was a free agent, perhaps attempting to attract the Pirates to trade for him, playing in Bradenton with the Angels' permission?

No matter, I'm hoping there's a (Topps?) Spring photo of Bobby with my Buccos. Does one exist?

Anyone know why he was with the Bucs in '75? He was with Charleston (Bucs' AAA) to begin the '75 season before returning to the Angels.

Changing the subject -- Earl Williams was with the Bucs, Spring ... 1980, I believe it was. ToppsVault images of Earl in black & gold will be beyond appreciated as well!

Thankew,
J
