Merry Christmas #6: Bob Buhl 1953

As promised: Buhl was one of the Phillies captured in Dexter's visit to the Clearwater camp during Spring Training, 1967.

As I mentioned above, these are large format negatives and they've aged differently (even ones from the same shoot on the same day). There was also - and you can see that from some of the images actually used in the Dexter/Coke/Phillies set - some color variation based on what were obviously changeable skies the day Dexter took his pictures.

Short version: some of the uniforms of the newly-discovered Phils are the correct bright red, and others like Buhl have become cherry red. Still, given that I know of only two other images of Buhl in Phils' garb, it ain't bad!
