I've excised his cell phone number, to keep it from becoming public.
"That is me in the photo. I signed with the Angels in June 1981. Spent 3.5 years in the minors & did go to big league spring training my last year. I'm just not positive what year that was but I think it was 1984. Please feel free to call, text, or email me anytime. My cell is .........

Cusick....That is outstanding....I love when these guys see their photos for the first time....I guarantee that Rod Allen will get a kick out of his White Sox photos and I would not be surprised if those photos were used on a Tigers broadcast this season to poke fun at his "very 80's" look
Also, I have been thinking about starting a blog focusing on all of the TV releases of guys who never made the majors....perhaps, also (occasionally)including guys who have photos on a team they never played in the majors with....My hope is this would allow players and their families to see these photos for the first time and allow them to make comments on them if they choose....occasionally, also, grabbing an interview with someone like Kammeyer....
