Aso part of the Mark Harris collection currently for sale on eBay are several hundred images that are either labelled as Kodak postcards or original George Brace, both color and B&W. Nearly everything seems to be crisp and unautographed.
Minnie Rojas, the Angels reliever whose career and, eventually, his life was cut short by a car accident, was featured on two Topps cards in 1967-68. I feel like his story ought to be told one day.
This terrific portrait of Jim Umbricht, who was a big, strong reliever for the Pirates and Colt 45s before cancer claimed him at age 33 shortly before the 1964 season began. This was a personal prize, as Umbricht was a high school classmate of my father, who'll be celebrating his 92nd birthday this October.
This one of Cubs short-timer Tom Baker ought to please some folks. All I'd ever seen of him up to now was black-and-white. The lefty got into 10 games for the 1963 Cubs, starting once, and finishing with an 0-1 record and a nice 3.00 ERA. He, too, died young at age 45.
