Thanks bud.

Hey, folks, did AESP or anyone else ever do an updated facegen for George Haddock (haddoge01 / haddoc001geo)? The one in the pack has got a bit of a Planet Charon vibe.

I'll take a look. A quick Google reveals the likely source photo. One really needs to treat the source photo to eliminate that.

Like the real estate business that he would later enter, success and failure during the career of late-19th century pitcher George Haddock was often a matter of location. When on the roster of bad clubs, Haddock regularly tasted defeat, losing a staggering 72 games over his first three full professional seasons. Yet once assigned to first-rate outfits, Haddock’s fortunes underwent an astonishing transformation. The season after he posted a 9-26 record for the hapless Buffalo Bisons of the 1890 Players League, our subject paced a talent-laden Boston Reds team to the American Association crown, going a scintillating 34-11. The following year, Haddock demonstrated that this performance was no fluke, winning 29 games for another competitive squad, the National League Brooklyn Bridegrooms, despite sitting out the first month of the season in a salary dispute.

[Given this is a post about his face, I'll let the SABR bio continue on...]

There are two intriguing aspects to the Haddock persona – one expressly (and quite often) mentioned on the sports pages, the other only hinted at. Tall (almost 6 feet) but slender (155 pounds), with wavy black hair, neatly trimmed mustache, and “deep, dark, unfathomable eyes like Edgar Allan Poe” (in the words of an overwrought Chicago sportswriter), George Haddock was a young man of striking good looks. He was often considered among the handsomest men in baseball, and friends reputedly called him “the Adonis.” But the frequent press mention of “Handsome George” Haddock’s appearance was not always couched in the fulsome, admiring language used for other ballplayers with matinée idol looks, such as Tony Mullane, Bill Lange, or Adonis Terry. Rather, sportswriters were often cutting, even antagonistic, when it came to describing Haddock, with demeaning, effeminate adjectives like pretty, immaculate, and beautiful suggesting something unmanly about the pitcher. Brooklyn sportswriter Donnelly, his disdain for Haddock ill-disguised, once maintained that “all want to know what ailed our pretty pitcher with the Hyperion ringlets” after a substandard Haddock outing against the Giants. At one point, Sporting Life called for a truce on “the newspaper joshing [of Haddock] because of his good looks and posing.” With unintended but regrettable irony, the baseball weekly then added that “it isn’t Haddock’s fault that he is handsome, nor is beauty of face or form any bar to first-class ballplaying.”

Anyway, here's my attempt at an alternative version of “Handsome George” Haddock.

At 32, Kemp is having his best season since 2011, when he was 26 and playing for the Dodgers. He's hitting .309 with 12 home runs and 37 RBI—numbers that have him in the running for a starting spot in the All-Star Game. He's reminding baseball fans of the player who nearly won the National League triple crown in '11, when he led the league with 39 home runs and 126 RBI, finished third with a .324 average and also stole 40 bases.

Back then, it seemed like he would be a Dodger and a superstar for life.

But life beyond baseball was swirling around him.

There was the tabloid fodder—like dating Rihanna in 2010. There was the expectations-setting eight-year, $160 million contract extension. There were the injuries. And then there was the trade to San Diego. The weight gain. Then a second trade, this time to the Braves, and chatter about his San Diego mansion not selling at auction. He admitted in a post on the Players' Tribune that he had "let a big contract, the Hollywood lifestyle, injuries and bad relationships" get to him, which earned him a "reputation for being selfish, lazy and a bad teammate."

He was trending dangerously toward another label: bust.

But not so fast. Kemp's story wasn't finished. Not yet.

His resurgence in Atlanta—and his jaw-dropping transformation in the offseason—is eliminating any inkling of those perceptions. He's hitting. He's healthy. By all appearances, he's having fun.

And the Braves organization loves him. - BleacherReport.com Jun 2018

Had occasion to look at Matt Kemp and saw he was from the previous generation of facegens (heavy on smiles).

I've updated the download links on the first page of this thread and on my signature block to reflect the latest update. The highlight of this update is the work that Pappydhorn and ChrisG have been doing to create facegens for all the current minor leaguers, staff, owners, and draft hopefuls. Those alone are more than 1,700 new .fg files. Thanks guys!

Yup, I did my pack too. Not too many as I've been busy trying to get the NeL mod ready for OOTP26 and I've been playing with in-game baseball cards a bit but if you just want to grab the ones I got in there, my signature link reflects mine as of yesterday.
