I have been looking for a posed (non-action, no head or chest shot) of Grimsley with the Reds in the double-knit pull over jerseys he wore between 1972-1973 before going to Orioles. Thanks for any help you can give me.

There doesn't seem to be too much widely available, as I'm sure you know.

Ken Johnson, who was a much better pitcher than his final career
won-lost mark of 91-106 showed, passed away Saturday, November 21 at his home in Louisiana, at age 82.
It was Johnson's fate to pitch for some bad teams in the early years of his career such as the Kansas City Athletics (1958-1961) and the even-worse expansion Houston Colt 45s/Astros (1962-1965). Johnson fared much better with the decent Atlanta Braves teams of the mid-60s where he went 40-25 in just under three seasons (1965-1967) and he went 6-2, 3.25 e.r.a. in a partial season with the 1961 Cincinnati Reds capping that season by pitching for them in that year's World Series.
Overall he had 50 Complete Games, 7 Shut Outs, and threw one
no-hitter. He was also Yankee, Cub, and Expo in a 13-year career that ended early in the 1970 season.
Photos of Johnson in his various uniforms would be appreciated!

I posted a Cubs image over at Baseball Birthdays, if you haven't seen it.

And here are a couple of Vault shots with the Colts (no attempt at color correction) and Braves.

None of the Vault images show Johnson with the Milwaukee Braves, whom he joined in late May. Only one I have is TCMA 60s set card:

The shot of the late Ken Johnson purporting to show him in an Expo uniform and cap is in fact a very nice photoshop transplant job.

The face is taken from Johnson's 1962 Topps card and the body from the 1969 team issued series card of Roy Face (below).

No actual shot of Johnson with Montreal (1970) has yet turned up.

Nothing wrong with Photoshopping, especially if it's as convincingly done as this - but it should be noted.

Believe this is mid 1940's - late 1940's thanks

Merkle923 · 11-24-2015, 02:31 PM

Lots of him as Cleveland and Philly manager, even some from his days as a Twins' power hitter. But have you seen him before in Minnesota's one-year style 1972 gray road uniforms?

Merkle923 · 11-24-2015, 02:33 PM

Five seasons, five clubs, and a bunch of airbrushed caps on his baseball cards. Here's the future Cubs' manager during his 1960-61 stint with the Giants, at then brand-new Candlestick Park:

Merkle923 · 11-24-2015, 02:37 PM

A stocky reliever out of Eastern Michigan, John Martin spent parts of four seasons with the Cardinals, then after a mid-season deal wrapped up his career with his "hometown" Tigers for 15 games in 1983. That means this Topps Vault image must've been taken in Spring Training, 1984:

Merkle923 · 11-24-2015, 02:39 PM

A very brief career for the Venezuelan star 1st Baseman, and very few images of him with the Cubs:

Merkle923 · 11-24-2015, 04:15 PM

Veteran utility man and brief Seattle interim manager made three stops in his last big league season (1972) and Topps put up images of him from two of them. This is the first: St. Louis.

Merkle923 · 11-24-2015, 04:20 PM

The second stop was Oakland, where Martinez contributed to one of the oddest details of any World Championship team: he was one of seven different second basemen for the '72 A's:

Merkle923 · 11-24-2015, 04:22 PM

Very little of him with his first club, the White Sox.
