Minor leaguers photo doctored

While getting some images prepped for custom cards, I had several minor league shots fixed that have not been repaired to any extent I've seen.

Bruce Fitzpatrick (Mets) was only released by the Vault in 2017, and has shown up several times badly yellowed. Here he is in all his restored glory.

Larry Staab (Dodgers) has been otherwise released, but I like this shot even though it was the worst deterioration of any here. Nicely restored.

Robert Guzek (White Sox) has only appeared once, badly yellowed, which was why I had it done. Began his pro career in 1963 with an 8-0 record, but went to Kansas City about five minutes after this picture was taken.

Lloyd Gladden (Royals) has been Vault released with the Brewers, with whom he should have reached the majors (but didn't inexplicably). But he was drafted by the Royals. This image was badly overexposed and I did not think it could be salvaged. Wrong again.

Bill Parlier (Dodgers) was a bonus baby signed in 1963 and, while the rule no longer required his going directly to the majors, he was in the big league camp and given the coveted number worn most recently by Duke Snider. (It was formally retired in the late 70s).
