A long time ago in a galaxy not so far away, I posted a picture (at Baseball-Birthdays) of Gary Gaetti that the eBay seller had listed as Lenny Faedo. So I, of course, labeled it Faedo when I posted it. And, at some point, even though the full B-B thread had caught the error, it got posted over here as Gaetti. You may or may not recall that, in that picture, Gaetti was wearing Faedo's #12. Ever wonder what Faedo was wearing that day? Ta-da! The yin to the yang...or whatever. An eBay offering of dr.jteeee of Lenny Faedo (at least it looks like Faedo to me--which we all know is fairly meaningless--and was identified as such by the dr.) wearing Gaetti's familiar #8 (and please ignore the #2 on the batting helmet; that belonged to John Castino at the time....oy). FWIW, googling up images to compare, the 1982 team issued postcard set has Gaetti wearing 12 and Faedo wearing 8, so it was probably one of those pranks where they thought they could fool the photographer. I mean, they do look quite a bit alike. And they might have gotten away with it, too, if not for Gaetti's cheesy mustache......and those meddling kids.
