More Newfound Braces

It never ceases to amaze me that things could be lost/missing/hidden for 20-30-50 years and all of a sudden find the light of day. Or maybe it's just lucking out in guessing where to look. These three players had never been seen by me in color until I saw these Brace images in 2018. Better late than never.

Rich Barry was an outfielder in 20 games for the 1969 Phillies, so logic tells you that color images should be readily found. So much for logic.

Joe Campbell was a Rule V pickup by the Cubs from the Mets, but his only MLB action was as a Cub, going 0-3 with 3 strikeouts in his one start before being returned to the Mets.

Rick James was also a 1967 Cub, the team's first-round pick in the first draft in 1965. He made three appearances for them (4.2 innings) the final month of the season at age 19, starting the team's season finale (eiht runs, seven earned, in three innings) and never returned to the majors. He was drafted by Padres in the '68 expansion draft, but returned to Cubs for his final pro season, 1970, at age 22.
