Saw it. Hence the use of the word "confirmation."

John DeMerit 1957
Hardly a rare image in that uniform, but this shot of him having just joined the Braves directly from the University of Wisconsin and posing against the backdrop of Ebbets Field in Brooklyn in July, 1957, was just too good to pass up.

Alan Fowlkes 1982
The Vault debut of Alan Fowlkes, who had a promising 1982 debut with the Giants, but did not surface in the majors again until 1985 with a two-game audition with the Angels.

Joe Foy - Mets
I feel like the M&M seeing Santa Claus (and vice versa)..."They do exist!" Yeah, I know I knew that, but we hadn't seen them in the wild before.

Vault Gap Filled
On Tuesday, the Vault posting left a gap between KB 474-478. Wednesday, those images were posted:

Jim Fregosi, Lefthanded Shortstop
Add the great shortstop and longtime manager to the list of players who fooled Topps (Lou Burdette, Gene Freese, Bob Uecker, Fregosi himself on a fringe issue) and those who tried (Roger Clemens, Tom Seaver). Hard to see how even the most inexperienced photographer could've missed this - and the main Topps guy in New York in the '60s was named Heyer, and he was no rookie.
Or, the image is legit and that would explain how poorly he fared at third base for the Mets. Today's Topps uploads (KB): 474-475 Reggie Jackson; 476-478 Alan Foster; 494-495 Hal Brown; 496-497 Lou Brock; 498-499 Dave Freisleben; 500-501 Andres Galarraga; 502-505 Ozzie Smith; 506-509 Jim Fregosi; 510-513 Tito Fuentes; 514-515 Larry Bowa; 516-517 Roger Freed; 518-519 Herman Franks; 520-523 Tito Francona; 524-527 Paul Foytack; 528-529 Joe Foy; 530-531 Dave Frost; 532-533 Craig Biggio; 534-535 Bobby Bonds; 536-539 Larry Elliot; 540-543 Bill Freehan; 544-547 Gaylord Perry; 548-549 Jose Canseco; 550-551 Enos Slaughter; 552-553 Bert Blyleven; 554-555 Orlando Cepeda; 556-557 Clint Courtney; 558-561 Tony Perez; 562 Mike Piazza; 563 Ernie Banks.

Fregosi's Later Jokes
As referenced above: Fregosi not only did the lefty shortstop thing in '64 or '65, but he nearly pulled it off in 1966 - and he did pull off the wrong-way batter trick - and all in one shoot!
This is from the day in 1966 that Topps' guy was in Cleveland for whatever reason and shot the Angels and Indians (there also Municipal Stadium shots of the Indians and Twins from 1965). The images populate the '67, '68, and '69 sets (Minnie Rojas, Bobby Knoop, Jose Cardenal, etc). Fregosi was a right-handed batter, but this lefty pose got past the editors in the 1967 set. And the "1969 Topps Super Baseball" card of Fregosi was the odd head-and-shoulders cropping because the original (shown in the proof on the right) was the glove-on-the-wrong hand trick. This was one day's work for prankster Jim. |
