Unless there's another Larry Hollyfield who graduated from Compton (CA) High School in 1969, that 6th round pick didn't sign, went to junior college for a year to play basketball, and then won 1971-1973 NCAA championships for the John Wooden dynasty, going 75-0 to end his career. (The Bruins got to 88-0 before they got beat by Notre Dame.)

Plenty of pictures of him hooping it up available, but a baseball uniform may be harder to find.

The Ted Nowell on the following Facebook page is the nephew of Monty Nowell. If you can figure out a way to contact Ted, maybe you can track down a photo. I didn't find any in the newspapers.

Apparently there was actually a minor league player for the Class-D Leesburg Packers in 1952 named Donald Trump. Here is a photo from his 2013 obituary.

Who is this guy?

cmcgill · 05-10-2026, 05:47 PM

A Google image search says it's William "Kid" McGill (no relation)

Thanks

If anyone has any photos of the following I'd be very thankful:
-Guido Simoni
-Cody Bertrand
-Peter Manzi
-William Lanza
-Whichever minor league team photo it was that had an actual photo of Lou Meyers (1884 major leaguer) rather than the drawing that appears everywhere (I think someone posted it on a forum here but I don't remember which one)
-Jose Altuve (Nationals minor leaguer)
-King Esterbrook
-Lane Shultis
-Ruby Wich
-William Kershaw
-William Renfro
-Perry Bellis
-Albert Zubay
-Sleepy Simmons
-John Wakefield
-Jose Sonoqui
-Stanley Shubilla

William Hickman sent me some players from my "most wanted" list in an email but said that the file types weren't working when he tried to put them here so I will post them. I really appreciate the efforts and wonderful finds of everyone involved with this community. This one is a good photo of Guido Simoni' face that I hadn't seen before.

Patsy Tebeau · 05-24-2026, 08:01 PM

Another one from Mr. Hickman.

Patsy Tebeau · 05-24-2026, 08:04 PM
