July 10, 1917, and Otto Neu plays an inning at shortstop for the St. Louis Browns.

And that's his whole career.

He was a 22-year old from Canton, and since there are no minor league records for him, there's reason to believe he played amateur ball and was getting a quick "he's here, let's see what he can do" tryout. Depicted in a Cleveland uniform and with the marking "3-12-20" on the back of the print, suggesting he went to Spring Training with the Indians that year.

(As a side note, RMY also has an image of Hall of Famer Ed Walsh as an American League ump - I'm posting that in the Umpires thread).

Thanks to the poster of the black and white. Thanks to Frosty, here is nice colorization.

I'm looking for a few upgrades to some photos in my collections. Does anybody have photos for these fellows (preferably in color):

Costen Shockley, Angels uni
Merl Combs, Cleveland uni
Dave Wainhouse, Pittsburgh uni
Derrick White, Detroit uni
George Brunet, Angels uni

This is from the slide of him provided to television stations by the American League.

Boyer, in color, with the '68 White Sox. How about that windbreaker?

Sorry couldn't resist and I even played it on one of my own in Captain Kenny...

Among so many hatless shots, he almost doesn't look like himself with a hat.

Believe image is or was an AP photo

Paul Schaal LA & CAL; Don Wilson which there seems to be so few available; Mack Jones a personal favorite player and Willie Davis with LA

Right in the middle of what might be the most jam-packed offload of very very obscure guys in obscure uniforms. They're just Baltimore and Chicago but here they are.

Merkle923 · 01-20-2015, 04:29 PM

Also Baltimore - as previous this appears to be at old Miami Stadium, spring training of '71 or '72

Merkle923 · 01-20-2015, 04:30 PM

1976, at the Oakland Coliseum.

That's all they posted, I swear.

Merkle923 · 01-20-2015, 04:42 PM

Only pitched for the White Sox, but this sure looks like him in a Pirate uni (1980?) and located adjacent to a couple of images in a red White Sox outfit.

Merkle923 · 01-20-2015, 04:44 PM

And at Wrigley Field, no less.

Merkle923 · 01-20-2015, 04:46 PM

Back with the Braves for his farewell in 1966 (save for an unsuccessful spring training bid to make the '67 Phillies)

Correcting debut year: 1953

I believe you're right. Johnson received an invitation to Pirates spring training in 1979. I know he was in camp at least through the first week of March, but lost track of him after that.

stlcardsfan · 01-20-2015, 04:59 PM

Does anyone have a picture of John Wockenfuss with the Cardinals?
He played MiLB for them in 1973

Merkle923 · 01-20-2015, 05:03 PM

In his farewell year and uni - spring training 1976 with the Tigers

Merkle923 · 01-20-2015, 05:17 PM

As I said, an all time high overall score in Topps Vault obscurity
