Willie Smith
Willie Smith was a pitcher with the Birmingham Black Barons in 1959 and 1960. He became more famous as a major league outfielder and pitcher as the 1960's progressed. The attached image is from one of Willie's major league Topps cards, and I can't identify the uniform.
There was an earlier Willie Smith who pitched in the Negro Leagues. That Willie Smith was with the Homestead Grays in 1948, when the future major leaguer Willie Smith was only nine years old. 1948 Willie's photo remains to be discovered.
