Always loved Roy Foster for the time he spent in the Mets system. And, somewhere, I'm sure there's a Vault image of him in Pilots garb. Some time ago, I was asking for a good image of the man--any good image of the man--and I eventually purchased the B&W wire photo of Roy on his first day with the Indians in 1970. This is why I was asking. What you'll usually hear me say about my colorizations is "Not my best work." Ladies and gentlemen, THIS is my best work. Ever. Yes, I swear, I really did this all by myself without help from anyone. That's how proud of this freakin' SOB I am, that I feel the need to say that. I believe I used Dave Baldwin's body, but I don't entirely recall. I do recall that I drained the color from the body and colorized it, so that you wouldn't have a colorized head on a photo color body (though, in the end, I don't think that made a difference).
VERY COOL!! Thanks so much. Still trying to learn to do this myself. with no luck. You need to be very much giving credit. You do an AWESOME JOB!!!!!!!. Glad to see any Pilots . THANKS again for the showing the Foster card
