Surreal back to back white whales....

A's OF with 120 PAs in his only season in the bigs...... simarc, and I was so close to buying an A's yearbook and then boom! TV makes a splash....

IMO, a huge banner day with these consecutive postings by them....For now, I'll forgive the Broberg Cub snub....

Freakin' Leon Brown, 1976 Mets.

Would you make this trade? Spend your life trying to reach the majors - the team you sign with suddenly moves to your home town and you make their first opening day roster!

And they bring you in for your first game and you...get nobody out. Four men up, four men on and they score and they take you out and send you to the minors and you never get back. You are thus left as one of only 19 big league pitchers ever to compile an ERA of infinity.

That was the trade Fred Bruckbauer got. He's at the tail end of the Topps Vault posting today.

Seldom seen in any uniform, this is him with the 1977 Blue Jays, in a classically beautiful Doug McWillams image shot at the Oakland Coliseum.

Terry D · 02-19-2015, 09:00 PM

Some days back I posted some images from kylesportscards of Darrell Brown, a good-field, no-hit outfielder who got some work with the 1981 Tigers. Well, here he is again with the Tigers, this time in some fine Topps Vault shots. Now, if I can only find him with the '82 A's...

Terry D · 02-19-2015, 09:08 PM

Tony Brizzolara was a Braves pitcher who got three cups with Atlanta in 1979, 1983, and 1984. Topps did a card of him in 1980, but here he is again in some Topps Vault photos that seem to date from the period of his later appearances with the big club. The uniform is right anyway, though I can't be certain of the precise year.

stlcardsfan · 02-19-2015, 09:23 PM

spring training day is here...well some guys reported earlier.

I've been saving every photo I can find from today's work outs and yesterdays early workouts lol

About 6 weeks ago I asked if anyone here had a shot of Jamie Quirk with the 1989 Oakland A's. Jamie spent several seasons with the A's, but in '89 he had one tour with them sandwiched between stints with the Yankees and the Orioles. That season was only the only season in which Jamie wore No. 3 with Oakland; when he returned to them later he wore No. 9.

Well, here he is wearing No. 3, sliding into the plate in an autographed image of a 1989 game between the A's and Angels. I think I found this on Ebay, but unfortunately I failed to note the seller.

Saw a 90x135 shot on a previous thread. Was wondering if anyone came up with a larger TV sized one ?

bobb49 · 02-20-2015, 03:12 PM

Could this be Mickey Grasso?

Thanks, I looked at that picture and others all of a much older Grasso. This was allegedly taken in 1945...about 12 years before yours....and if not Grasso, then who?

rico43 · 02-20-2015, 04:05 PM

I'm about 50-50 but the nose and eyebrows seem close.

I might have one at home. I will check later and post if I do.

I am also looking for larger versions of some thumbnails posted on this site. Dennis Kinney (Tigers) and Steve Dillard (White Sox) are the two that come to my mind at the moment.

Same Same here dude...eyebrows and ears are close...noses are not but they break easily on catchers over the years especially with the old masks....hope someone else has an idea. Thanks again

I can't seem to find a photo of Mr. Rodriguez in a M's uniform circa 2000.

rico43 · 02-21-2015, 08:30 AM

Consider that Grasso spent nearly two years in a German POW camp before escaping. His weight dropped from 205 to 145. There aren't any stories about him being msitreated or injured, but two years are two years.

That would put your photo in 1942; the only year he played before enlisting.
