Dick Montague... at least that's what it apparently said on the back of the photograph when I archived it. The only Dick Montague who fits the time period is this guy:

But I have no proof that it's the guy in the link. There's no evidence that I can find of a Montague who would've been Cubs property in the era that this photo was taken.

Think your baseball-reference cite is the right guy. I got the same photo off eBay in 2011. Dick Montague was a pitcher who appeared on the Cubs' spring training roster in 1931. He was born Sept. 5, 1909. He hailed from Buchanan, Michigan, which makes me think he aligns with the baseball-reference Dick Montague who attended the U. of Michigan and hurled in the minors in 1931.

P.S. Just checked the 1931 Cubs spring roster listed in the Feb. 5, 1931 issue of the Sporting News, and it indicates that Montague's 1930 baseball team was the University of Michigan.

Here's a closer view of Dick Wilson with the Mexicali Aguilas.

Dick Wilson was a non-roster invitee with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1952. At that point, he was listed as a catcher. However, baseball-reference correctly notes that he spent more of his minor league career at first base, third base, and in the outfield.

Pitcher Bob Adubato was on the 1957 Boston Red Sox spring roster.

Not sure if the quality is good enough but figured I would share it as I found a youtube video of an interview with Lou Quinn while I was looking for an image of him for my current historical replay.

Quinn was an infielder in the Pirates system for nearly a decade starting in 1965. There are 3 interview clips of him on youtube from the 1968 season when he played for the Salem Rebels.

Cusick · 05-20-2018, 11:57 AM

This is a photo of Joseph Michael "Joe" Morgan, who would later become the manager of the Boston Red Sox. I had originally posted it as Luther Quinn, but the correct identification was made by Merkle923. The photo came from eBay vender historicimages, who was selling it in 2013, and had identified it as Luther Quinn. Joe Morgan was a manager in the Pirates' system from 1966 through 1971 and in 1973.

Outfielder David Mann was on the Cleveland Indians' spring roster in 1958. He is shown here in a Seattle Rainiers uniform. He died recently on May 14 at age 85.

Mann was a base-stealing specialist. He swiped 88 bases one season at York, 65 at Reading, and 50 at AAA Minneapolis. Over his 12 seasons in the minors, he had a career batting average of .282.

P.S. Though the quality is not good, just found a newspaper photo (Cleveland Plain Dealer, Mar. 7, 1958) which shows Mann with the Cleveland Indians, sliding back into first base on a pickoff attempt. It is added as a third photo.

Here is Seattle Pilots Farmhand Juan Carty w/ tryout folder. Played 1 Yr. in Pilots Minors 1969 Newark Co-Pilots. Had a Bloated E.R.A. of 7.77 giving up 19 runs 11 earned in 13 games and 22 innings pitched. from the papers looks like he was signed from a tryout session. this is from worthpoint.com

Rounding out the info here and at Baseball-Reference, Juan Carty had no professional experience prior to signing with Seattle. He hailed from Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic where he played sandlot ball (FWIW, he was 8-1 in sandlot ball). Expansion teams take their players wherever they can find them.

He didn't have quite the pitching career of his namesake, but he was a non-roster invitee with the Cincinnati Reds in the spring of 1958. Died recently on May 7, 2018. The photo is from the Cincinnati Enquirer of February 21, 1958.

Hello. Wasn't there an Venezuelan card set that had Wayne Krenchicki in the set? If anyone knows and has a photo. Can you please post. Thanks to any response.

This was the best I could find. Had to edit the hell out of it to look like this. Images on the web were very poor.

EDIT: added original file I used for this image.

Outlaw Jim · 06-26-2018, 05:22 PM

A version I cleaned up a bit.

Added a 2nd version here showing more face, but the resolution is not as good.

Hello. Are there any known photos of William D. Smith. He was Drafted by the Reds in 1970. He attended Hope Mills High School N.C. Graduated 1970. Could not find high school in classmates.com.
