Here's another well-traveled quality outfielder of the '60s who played for one more team than he was widely photographed with.

Davalillo went from Cleveland to the Angels in June, 1968 and then from the Angels to St. Louis in May, 1969. Topps never got him with California and Brace only offered one shot of him, and it was blurred. This isn't as good as a nice portrait but it's A1 for a 1969 color action photo!

At 5'7" and not being able to crack the majors until he was 26, Davalillo is largely remembered as a pinch-hitter on four World Series teams. Before all that he actually produced three .300 seasons and three years of a 3.0 WAR or better.

PS 'the collection' actually included at least one set of game action images of an umpire - they're posted in that thread
