And A Clue I Utterly Missed

Below is a detail from my scan of the "Ken Nixon" 1966 Braves' photo shoot that we now know was Don Johnson.

Look at the loose stitching around his uniform number, especially compared to the stitching on the "Braves" letters! They must have sewed that on, that morning - or presumably right after they cut the guy listed in all the records as having worn number 50 that spring, outfielder (and pitcher-to-be) Carl Morton.
