In a fun filled search for 70's minor leaguers I came across Rick Down , an outfielder and sometime first baseman who played in the Expos chain from 1969 to 1975. After a two year hiatus Down played briefly in the Mariners system. Rick Down reached AAA at age 20 but never played in a major league game. He was a highly successful Manager for the Triple A Columbus Clippers guiding them to three straight first place finishes, He later became an MLB hitting coach for 6 different teams. According to his Wikipedia page, Rick Down was called up to the Expos roster on September 30, 1971. Does anyone have a photo of him from that time or from spring training? Or as a minor leaguer? Thanks in advance.
