But every time I've seen it it's been washed out or blurry or looked like a photo of a photo. Now the original shot has popped up, along with a second pose!

My oldest brother was named after him. Tommy was a dear friend of my dad's when they were with the Orioles.

Doesn't look like there's anybody scarce or in an unusual uniform but Henry Yee has a huge batch of photos up on eBay (hyee_auctions) and some are outstanding portraits of the '30s-'40s including this beauty of Wes Ferrell during his cameo with the Dodgers:

Merkle923 · 12-14-2014, 03:22 PM

Also from the Yee auctions

Jabez54 · 12-14-2014, 05:33 PM

Those Yee's pics are certainly outstanding!!!

The Pride of Lamberton, MN gets his due from Topps Vault....

Been on my hunt list for sometime, it would appear this is Cito in his last year as a Padre in 1974 via Topps Vault...

Mendoza line? Perhaps more like the 'Gardner' line after hitting less than .200 in small parts of two seasons for the 'Stros....(from Topps Vault)

This is a photo of Frank Thomas during spring training of 1966 or late in the 1965 season. Thomas was released by the Braves before the '66 season started and was with them a short time in '65. We also know that the Braves never wore this cap in competition; is this a 1965 Crackers cap he wore as a gag, was it a McGuffin before the true cap was unveiled, or is it actually an alternative cap that was scrapped.

And does anyone have Thomas from '66 spring in COLOR? He is in the team photo, I know.

Merkle923 · 12-15-2014, 07:36 PM

That's a retouched Milwaukee shot, taken at Shea Stadium in 1965. I believe the original is in color.

Merkle923 · 12-15-2014, 07:38 PM

Ralph Garr in spring training with the Angels, 1980. Had a short stay with them at the end of '79 and the beginning of '80.

Merkle923 · 12-15-2014, 07:40 PM

11-game reliever with the White Sox, 1972-73

Brief Royals' catcher 1978-79

Merkle923 · 12-15-2014, 07:44 PM

In his final stop, St. Louis, during the back half of the 1978 season.

Merkle923 · 12-15-2014, 08:56 PM

Knew I had it somewhere, albeit in very poor quality (I think this is off a Fleer/Swell baseball card from the late '80s).

Not precisely the same pose, but clearly the same photo shoot, and the cap, fence, trees, and light poles confirm it's from September 1965, at Shea Stadium:

I guess I should ask if any one has colorized a Tiger from 1931 (road jersey). I doubt there are any real color ones.
