Bob Shaw 1957 (in 1967)
Veteran pitcher who varied from winner of a 1-0 World Series elimination game over Sandy Koufax to a mop-up guy with the '67 Mets, he was sold to the Cubs as pennant race help on July 24th but was so ineffective they actually released him before the season ended. In 1968 Shaw went to camp with his World Series team, the White Sox, but didn't make the cut. He later served as the Brewers' pitching coach.
The Brace pitching pose was loosed upon the world some time ago (though a crappy print), but I'd never seen the portrait before. Not bad at all. George did well with the home teams in Chicago.
