I trusted ya, perc and didn't even check. Just assumed based on your report it was missing and made one.

For context in regards to my message I deleted from above, for some reason it's telling me the fg file I made for the player exceeds the maximum size that the forum will allow and I'm not sure why. I have literally not changed anything that I'd done for any of the other ones I've made so I don't know why it's like that. Even the image I used as a basis (not sure if that even has any effect on it) was the same size as the others I'd used, just for whatever reason this particular one is giving me trouble to upload.

While I wait to get my question answered to post all the new league players I made all together, I figured I'd share this other baseball obscurity on here because why not? His name was Frederick, prince of Wales, and he is a relevant figure in various books about baseball's early history, a number of SABR articles, and has his own page on Baseball Reference Bullpen and Protoball.org.

Here is the bio on him from Protoball: "Prince Frederick of Wales was credited with having played an early form of baseball in the 18th century. He was seen playing what some call the "first baseball game" on September 19, 1749, though it seems likely that this game was quite different from Cartwright's version of the game, and was probably more similar to an early predecessor, or even something entirely different. Regardless, he has been mentioned in many baseball history books as having a significant tie to the origins of baseball. The Prince was known to enjoy various sports and was very physically active. However, he died in 1751 at age 44, with many historians debating his cause of death (some say he died after being struck in the chest with a cricket ball, which caused his lungs to burst, while others say that he died from a pulmonary embolism)."

It's simply a file size issue. The max file size for a facegen is 512 KB. If exceeds that size, the file won't post. Try redoing it using a smaller source file, so if it was 1000 pixels high as a photo reduce it to 800 and see if that results in a smaller .fg file. It's not a linear relationship between starting image size and resulting .fg size but it is the easiest variable to control.

Any chance for a Jeff Treadway facegen? He was a starter for the Braves in the late-80s so a bit surprised he's missing from the current pack.

Jeff Treadway, he of the twice successfully executed hidden ball trick. Apologies to Atlanta fans for putting him in a Reds uniform.

In the 37 years that the Sounds have been playing baseball in Nashville, there have been two jersey numbers retired. One was Don Mattingly (1981) and Skeeter Barnes (1979, 88-90). Mattingly wore No. 18 while Barnes donned No. 00 in his second stint with the Sounds.

Barnes was born in Cincinnati, Ohio with the name William Henry Barnes graduating from Woodward High in 1975 and attended the University of Cincinnati. As for the name "Skeeter" said Barnes, "that is something my mom gave me at birth. It doesn't really mean anything. They just started calling me Skeeter as a newborn and it just kind of stuck."

Schmittou was an owner and president of the Sounds for 19 years (1978-96). A few years ago in an interview, Schmittou was asked, "who is your favorite Nashville Sounds' player of all-time?" "Skeeter Barnes," Schmittou said without hesitation. "The reason Skeeter is my favorite is he's the one no matter whatever had happened to him, he still worked the hardest. He had that cheerful face on him. Skeeter first came to us in 1979. He was always the first person out who was cheerful and inspiring other people. He would play any position you asked him. His attitude is what made him one of my favorites. Skeeter wasn't the best player, but he worked harder than anybody I saw coming through there."

Some baseball players are said to be "in between" players. That is a player that is solid in Triple-A, but struggles at the major league level.

"I was a Four-A player," said Barnes. "You are always hoping for that chance in the right situation on a big league team. That's what happened with Sparky [Anderson-Detroit manager]. I get there in 1991 and fit right in playing the same way for the last five years. And they'd say where have you been the last five years. I'd say I've been in Nashville. I've been here. I've been there. Its just the matter of finding the right fit." - mlb.com
