Oh man, great work on this one! I've spent way too much time on Ging. Nice to see photo of Silent Bill Ging with the Reliable Wing, as he was called in the Gloversville, NY papers during his seasons with the club in the early 1900's..He was one of my most sought after photos. Thanks for posting this!

So far I've only found photos of him as a Red.

This Phillies photo of Stan Palys was an AP Wire Photo published in the May 1, 1955 issue of the Battle Creek (MI) Enquirer.

Here's another alternate image of Palys, I don't have it dated.

Thanks to Cusick and UK Baseball Fan for those Stan Palys as a Phillie photos..
Mr.Palys (born: May 1, 1930) is 87 and ranks just off the Wikipedia List of the 125 oldest major league ball players at #126.

Stan Clarke was a left-handed reliever in the 1980s of no great major league distinction. He started with the Blue Jays, spent some time with the Mariners, and popped up again with the Royals in 1989. Until recently the only Royals images I had seen of him proved to be photoshopped minor league shots. Here, though, is a genuine image of Stan with KC. He's on the left; the other guy is Brian Harper of the Twins.

I just saw this on Amazon from an autograph seller.

I cleaned it up a little. The hat logo looks legit, but maybe a touch off - still I don't think it's photoshopped. What do you think?

Black & White, so we don't get the full effect of the red front w. black sidewalls, but here we see Sox manager Darrell Johnson welcoming his California Angels counterpart (and former Sox skipper), Dick Williams, back to the Fens, and that's definitely not monochrome that Darrell's wearing.

Is there a thread for 2018 MLB Debuts?

2018 MLB debuts are being done by Cusick in the 2017 MLB Debuts thread.

Though it's been awhile since Tnfoto has released a new Facepack, there's no reason to halt the effort of this thread's initial purpose. With that said, here's obscure Phillies outfielder Walter Plock. He is pictured in the Facepack as a woodcut, but is pictured here with 1895 Lynchburg.

Vandagrift got into 43 games with the 1914 Indianapolis Hoosiers of the Federal League, but he spent most of his career playing in the minors for Fort Wayne. This image is an upgrade on the Facepack image and depicts him when he played college baseball at the University of Illinois.

Dto7 posted this same image several years ago, but this one is much clearer. It does feature Gear as a member of the University of Kansas ballclub.

[cinemaodyssey]

Fitzgerald is shown as a woodcut in the Facepack. Here he is as a member of the 1892 Binghamton Bingoes.

[cinemaodyssey]

The Facepack image is quite blurry. Here is Crowell as a member of the 1886 Altoona Mountain Cities. He was their star pitcher.

[cinemaodyssey]

Gettinger is also shown as a woodcut in the Facepack. He had a lengthy minor league career, though this modest image of him on the 1902 Natchez Indians is about all I can find.

[cinemaodyssey]

Battam played in 2 games as a 19 year old for the 1895 Giants. He was invited back to Spring Training in 1896 but did not make the team. He is pictured with them in their team photo however. This constitutes a major Facepack upgrade as the previous image was from a newspaper line drawing.

[cinemaodyssey]

Bowen pitched in 2 games for a grand total of 12 innings in 1896 for the Giants.

[cinemaodyssey]

Despite playing in the majors for 3 years and the minors for nearly 20 years, this is far and away the best image I've seen of Connaughton. He is depicted here playing for the 1896 New York Giants.

[cinemaodyssey]

Flynn finished his 9 game pitching career with an 11.27 ERA. He is pictured here with the 1896 Giants, where the majority of the runs scored against him originated.

[cinemaodyssey]

Minor League catcher Foster got into 1 game for the 1896 Giants.
