This small, blurry B&W image is all I have been able to find of Boone with the Astros. It comes from an Astros fan site, astrosdaily.com. Needless to say I am looking for a better one but have not been able to find one so far. Topps did a 1983 card of Hausman with the Braves, clearly retouching an image from when he was a Met. Randy Stein can be found with the 82 Iowa Cubs, which is not terrible since it is the same cap at least as the big club. I found a minor league B&W shot of Larry Cox with Midland that year. He's wearing the white-and-blue Cubs road uniform of that period, cap is not visible. The only other alternative so far is an '83 minor league set card which shows Cox as the Iowa manager, wearing the same uni the big team wore in '82-83. Despite diligent searching I have so far found failed to find Bahnsen with the Angels, Nordhagen with the Pirates, D. Brown as an A, Bass as a Ranger, or Jerry Manuel with SD.
