The books say he broke in with the '76 Cardinals but in point of fact Mejias was on the opening day roster of the '75 Brewers before he was quickly sent out to Thetford Mines - where he appeared in the array posted previously by Tnfoto. To my knowledge there are no actual color shots of Mejias in a Brewer uni, so this'll have to do.

PS: I posted game action of Alan Wirth in June, 2014, here: http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...ml#post3712206

Not very much of the now-Boston pitching coach during his tenure as perhaps the most elusive photograph on the '84 Tigers

Larry Andersen was also pictured, but he played at the Indians' AAA level team for almost the entire season and got to the majors at the end of the year.

Folder KA 27-28 is longtime Tigers prospect (1985-90) Kenny Williams.
Feel pretty sure that KA 19-20 is Mark Williamson.
KA 11-12 is Frank Wills.

You've conflated them. Two different guys.

Lawrence Eugene Andersen - with an "E" - is the long-time reliever once dealt for Jeff Bagwell and more recently a Phillies announcer: Larry Andersen Statistics and History | Baseball-Reference.com

Lawrence Dennis Anderson - with an "O" - is pictured with Thetford Mines. He would pitch for Milwaukee later in that 1975 season:

Wills it is. Very little of him with his first team, the Royals.

Harry Hardy 1905
Hardy had just completed a 20-win season for the Decatur Commodores of the 3-I League when he made his major league debut on September 26, 1905, for the Washington Nationals. He made his last major league appearance exactly one year later for the same team. He was a left-handed pitcher with a major league record of 1-4 in 8 games, including 5 starts. He had showed some promise in 1905, but in his second season with Washington he allowed 35 hits and walked 12 batters in just 20 innings.

Well, somewhat timely and perhaps kinda weird. Courtesy of today's TV releases....
