Gambo and T_Wil1 Photopack

[Amazin69]

Lenny only played for the Yanks in that weird last two months of the 1979 season, when the Bombers and their fans (and even some of their haters, ahem) were in a state of shock over Thurman Munson's death.

He seems happy to be back in the big leagues, though:



Not in the Batters' Pack…but not on the UIN list, either. (And not posted upthread, either.) So, who knows? But hopefully this fills a gap.

cupofcoffee, when you are posting a reply, if you click on the paper clip above the text box, it brings up the "Manage Attachments" window, which lets you upload up to five images per post. After you have uploaded the image(s), click on the downward triangle next to the paperclip and a list of your images will appear. Click on any of those named to insert it at your cursor's location. (It's easier than I just made it sound, trust me.)

The above pictures are not of Lenny Randle. They are of Terry Whitfield.

[Amazin69]

That's what I get for just assuming the guy after a bunch Randle/Senators, Randle/Rangers, and Randle/Mets pics, in a Yankee suit in the renovated stadium, was Randle/Yankees.

(No excuse for not checking the uni numbers, though. Guess I was just too excited hoping the next thing would be the needed Randle/Yankees, Randle/Cubs or Randle/Mariners pics.)

Also, now that I think about it, the next thing after these was two Whitfield/Giants pictures and it took me a bit to identify them, since we'd just had a long run of "R"-players. Just not as long as I thought; the Whitfields started earlier than I realized.

Inexcusably sloppy. Ah, fudge. Sbd*.

(*-sorry 'bout dat.)

[Amazin69]

In penance for my (latest, probably not last) f*ck-up, here's one of those "R" players I mentioned above.

(And yes, I'm sure it's Ragland.)

Ragland's current Batters Pack picture as a Senator is Black & White, in profile, and appears to be taken in game, so not the best lighting/focus. These spring training images improve on it, IMO.



The first two pictures are from Spring Training 1970 (note the 1969 centennial patch on the sleeve), the last might be from 1971, when Ragland made the majors; I can't tell.

My favorite Lenny Randle stat is the .477 average he posted in Italy's 'professional' league.

I don't know how I missed it until now, but Rafael Ortega debuted on September 30.

pitched 2/3 of an inning today

[KenRaffensberger16]

Tyson Brummett made his MLB debut in the bottom of the eight inning on October 3, 2012 (the season finale). Since the opponent and home team (Washington) led and did not have to bat in the ninth, Brummett was the final Phillies pitcher of the year.
0.2 IP, 0.00 ERA., 2 H, 0 Runs, 0 inherited runners scored.
I'm Pretty certain that he's the last player to make his MLB debut in 2012.

[KenRaffensberger16]

I forgot to mention that Brummett had 2 strikeouts - (the last two batters he faced.)

1990 Brewers.

[Expos 1969-2004]

Leo was on the club's roster for 10 days. He never made it to Montreal. He joined the club on a West Coast trip in Los Angeles and was dropped from the roster before the club left San Francisco.

He appeared in 2 games for the Tigers in 1965 and 3 games for the Expos in 1969.

[Expos 1969-2004]

Fred played in 4 games for the Expos.

[Amazin69]

Awesome! I'd been trying to find a pic of Fred Whitfield as an Expo (I'm doing a 1959 Cardinals game [yep, The Long Season was the impetus] and in 1960 [my version of] Fred just graduated to Rochester after tearing up Tulsa), so that makes me quite happy. Expos 1969-2004, what's your source for these older B/W pictures, if I might ask?

And, not really on topic (and you probably have these already, anyway), here are a couple of random Topps shots of Rule V draftee Tom Carroll trying to make the team during Spring Training in 1977. (He didn't.)



(What can I say? In terms of "Expos-themed gifts", it's about all I've got.)

As noted above, Brummett was the last of the 206 Major League debuts in 2012. Here he is during his 2/3-inning cup of coffee, and the 2012 Reading Phillies headshot I'll use for the Facepack.

I'm not sure this is actually on the UIN list but the last time I checked the Royals photo being used is actually a photoshop creation I put together. This is the first photo of Cepeda I've seen in a Royals uniform. It was in a "Royals in the National Baseball Hall of Fame" display at the Royals team Hall of Fame.
