Chris Nyman Chicago White Sox 1982
Here is Nyman during his brief '82 call up with the White Sox. Note the lack of an emblem on the left sleeve, which is what tells me that it is 1982. I think the photo comes from the ebay seller Sportslot.

Request for Castro
I am looking for a color pic of pitcher Bill Castro suiting up for the Royals - other than this Fleer card. Either 1982 or 83 are acceptable. Thanks in advance!

Belated Vault checklist corrections
Very, very late: EK 859-860 now correctly Mike Hershberger, not Gomer Hodge. Merkle clarified this way back on thread page 1004-1005.
Latest: BC 660 now Billy Muffett instead of Wes Stock. |

1963 Jim Dickson
Houston Colt 45s pitcher Jim Dickson, not often seen with his first team, the Colt 45s of 1963. Lexibell photo from spring training of 1962. This image was colorized for a 1963 custom retroset.
Dickson later pitched for the Reds and Athletics and was originally drafted by the Pirates. Last edited by rico43; 03-13-2016 at 07:46 AM. |

1978 Mayor's Trophy Game
According to The Sporting News, May 13, 1978, the Mets were planning on bringing Bill Greif up from Tidewater to get some action in the now-extinct Yankee/Met exhibition game to be held on April 27. I've tried unsuccessfully to see whether he actually was called up and active for the game, or whether he even might have played. I know it was only an exhibition, but for my 1978 project I would still like to include him if he did suit up, maybe with an asterisk. Does anyone out there know whether he was called to big club and whether he played? A box score would be appreciated as well. Thanks!

I tend to doubt Grief was up for the game. Officially, he was in Tidewater to "rehab". He made only three appearances for Tidewater before both he and the Mets concluded he was toast. I know he spent most of May on the DL and I think the last of those three appearances was in June. So my guess would be he wasn't called-up for the game as his arm was pretty much dead. If he had pitched in the Mayor's Trophy Game, I think that would have been mentioned in Bill's SABR bio, which it isn't. He definitely pitched for the Mets in the spring, though, if you need an excuse to include him. |

Facepack Update Released
I have completed and uploaded the 2016 pre-season release of the Facepack. This version includes 271 new photos:
216 new player photos, including 133 new 2015 player debuts 5 new manager photos, including 3 new 2015 manager debuts 2 new coach photos, including 1 new 2015 coach debut 48 new umpire photos, including 2 new 2015 umpire debuts Since the last Facepack release in June, 10 formerly-missing players, two formerly-missing managers and 44 formerly-missing umpires have been found. I have also corrected three player ID errors and returned one player to the Missing Player List. I renamed four player photos to remain consistent with SABR and Baseball-Reference.com. You can see additional details about this release, along with download links, on my Facepack page.

Topps's Folders & Files Corrections
I'm in the process of renaming each pics from Topps's folders, using copy-paste with the help of the great work list done by rico and others on former BB Birthday's site.

Dick Smith 1963
Richard A. Smith
So, the version of this image that I posted several pages back was scanned at home on a machine that's not able to handle oversized transparencies, although I was obviously able to get a good head & shoulders sample. I sent out that bit of film along with several others to Larsen Digital for full scans... I'm pretty happy with the results and I thought I'd share the Smith image and give Larsen a nod in case any of you folks might need such services. Click the pic for a much larger view... ![]() |
