Jason Kershner, Padres and Blue Jays facepack upgrade (currently shown with the Red Sox but never made an appearance with them)

cinemaodyssey · 02-15-2021, 02:47 PM

Thanks for the 2002 Padres photos! If you have guys like J.J. Trujillo or Alex Pelaez that would be amazing.

Here is Kippert during Spring Training for the Cincinnati Reds in 1914. He appeared in 2 games but at age 35 really never stood a chance. He was a popular player in the Pacific Coast League for many years.

Jabez54 · 02-15-2021, 07:45 PM

Not sure where I had acquired this older photo of Ed but had listed him playing for the Lethbridge Miners??

cinemaodyssey · 02-15-2021, 09:19 PM

That one pictures Kippert playing for the 1912 Vancouver team. I actually have that one as the Facepack image. Just wanted to offer one of him in his major league uniform in case anyone was interested.

Jabez54 · 02-15-2021, 10:31 PM

Thanks for the 1912 team clarification, as well as, having him in the Reds uniform.. awesome find!!

Dto7 · 02-16-2021, 12:31 AM

You probably have this one of him with the 1914 Reds team photo.

cinemaodyssey · 02-16-2021, 01:55 AM

I actually didn't for the primary reason that he's labeled as "Graham" in the photo. Thanks!

Okay, just that they had it as Kippert at Wikipedia. No big deal.

Kerry (Rusty) Tillman was one of the many guys whose ability hovered right on the edge of major league effectiveness. Drafted by the Mets in '79, Rusty worked his way up the ladder fairly quickly and made his major league debut with New York in 1982 (.154, 0 RBI, 0 HR, 0 BB, 1 2B in 13 AB). He got on the bad side of some people in the Mets organization, though, and became a nomad shifting from one outfit to another. He got his most playing time (42 PA) with the '86 Oakland A's (.256 BA, 1 HR, 8 RBI, 2 SB) and wound up his MLB career with four token appearances for the 1988 San Francisco Giants. Rusty wasn't ready to quit, though, and he played in the minors and then for years in the Mexican League, where he also managed briefly. Rusty played so little in the bigs that it's hard to say how good he was or could have been if he'd been given an extended opportunity. His minor league stats are regrettably incomplete, but he hit for some fairly good averages in AAA with some steals (not too many) and some HRs (not too many). I have no idea how good he was defensively. Rusty was also a human interest story. There was a reason why he spent so much time in Mexico. He'd made some connections down there one year and in 1986 he shuttled back and forth between Mexico and the bay area carrying supplies of enhancement drugs for his teammate Jose Canseco. Rusty got deep into drugs himself and his life fell apart. At one point, he was living in a tent in the woods in his native Jacksonville. I am happy to report that he has since found help and has pulled himself back together. The last I checked he was even running a baseball school. There are some very good color shots of Rusty with the Mets and one pretty good BW Giants photo, but nada for the A's--until now. Here is a newspaper image of him (Napa Valley Register, Sept 30 86). Not great, maybe, but it should do for the nonce.

Pictured during spring training for the 1915 Tigers. He managed to get into only 1 game.

cinemaodyssey · 02-18-2021, 10:02 PM

Pictured with the 1915 Pittsburgh Rebels of the Federal League.

I believe the guy is early 1950s infielder, Dick Smith.

I personally dont see it, mystery pirate has a more round pudgy face, also smith has different ears than mystery pirate.

Im interested in finding photos of other sports (hockey, basketball, and football), does anyone have a site to recommend that is similar to this one? This website is a baseball history treasure trove.
