Whenever I come across a player who had been on a spring roster for four or five years, and not made the major leagues, it makes me wonder what was in the GM's mind to keep using a roster slot for the guy over and over like that, and yet not give him a shot at playing in the bigs. It had to be very frustrating for the player.

Any time you can remove a photo like the one posted initially it's a good day. Here is Al Crawford, colorized image from a Reds Yearbook.
