Just back from the scanner at the photo shop is this excellent shot of Hal Reniff, who concluded his Major League career in 1967 after a mid-season trade from the Yankees to the Mets.

Reniff had taken the National League by storm. In his first nine appearances with the Mets he was credited with three wins and four saves, gave up just six hits and two walks, and struck out ten in eighteen innings. He would never record another major league win or save, get racked up in Spring Training of 1968 (when this image was taken), and be released by the Mets. Just 29, he went back to the Yankees and pitched five years out of the bullpen with their AAA farm club in Syracuse, including a star turn as the relief ace of the 1970 Junior World Series champions.
