Paul Womble

Nobody's gonna care about this one but me. Paul was one of my first "favorite" minor league Mets. He passed away on April 19th and I did a career write-up on him on the minor league thread back then.

I asked for and looked for images of Paul (with the best of what was found in that earlier post). I did start to colorize the KU image. But then, sigh, I was going to have to get him into a Mets uniform, too. So, in the end, I went with the image I always had...the B&W large screen image from the Mets yearbook. I hate working with those kinds of images, but it wasn't really worse than the others and he was already in a Mets uni, more or less. Lots of crap I could be disappointed with on this one but, given the quality of the starting image, I'll take it. What the hell, I always wanted a Paul Womble baseball card. And my guess is this is the only one in existence. BTW, because of the cross-hatching you get with a screen capture of a large screened image (which has to do with the number and size of the "dots"--a "fine" screen is what you'd want), the card image is a scan of a print. And, for anyone who is wondering, the cap logo on the original is what the Mets used in the Instructional League.
