Dick Stuart 1958
We've seen shots of Stuart in camp with the '67 Dodgers, and Topps got him both in Vero Beach and the year before at Dodger Stadium (a gorgeous shoot at dusk that included a bunch of the visiting Astros, many of which appear in the '67 Topps set). But I don't think there's been a clean color image of "Dr. Strangeglove" in a Los Angeles uniform before.
Still to be found: a color shot of Stuart during his reprise with the 1969 Angels, after two years in Japan. The most annoying fact of this gap in the photographic record is that somehow, while there's no color (or really clear black and white) shot of Stuart with California, one of his Angels uniforms is still intact and was sold at auction three years ago.
