I don't think I've posted the second image before (if I'm wrong, my apologies in advance) and nothing comes up with a google search for this player and this team.

Having made almost no impression in the Phillies system or with the Mets (although he was mocked with various nicknames for wearing his hair long - at least long for 1965), Gary Kroll was traded to Houston in 1966 for original Colt 45 Johnny Weekly. His ten relief appearances were the closest thing to a successful stop in his four-year, three-team career.

The first shot is from 'the' collection, Kroll in Spring Training 1965 with the Mets, and the second, a J.D. McCarthy image of Kroll taken in spring training in March, 1966 (check out the star on the sock!)
