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.

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.

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!

Yeah, good luck with that. As a Mets fan who used to love the Mayor's Trophy game.....by 1978, the Mets were so bad that, literally, nobody gave a crap. I cared less about the rivalry than I did a chance to hear or see some of the minor leaguers in action. In the 60s and early 70s, you could catch the game on the radio, sometimes even on television. But, by 1978, the papers didn't even mention it, let alone print a box score. It wasn't on TV or radio. It might as well not have happened. 1978 was pretty much the nadir of the series. They couldn't even draw 10,000. The only reason anybody remembers it at all is because that was the extra inning game that Graig Nettles, according to Sparky Lyle's book, tried to "throw". They later said that was a joke and I believe them. Baseball took it seriously but they also accepted the explanation. Trying to throw a game that you end up winning? That was more the Mets speed. They were so bad by then that they couldn't win if they tried and they couldn't lose if they tried. If you knew one thing about the '78 Mets, you knew that, whatever they were trying to do, they'd screw it up. But the nature of the joke should not be lost in the shuffle. And that is that nobody from either side wanted to play the game anymore. The two teams were so far apart (Yankees winning, Mets losing) that it wasn't even good for bragging rights. The Mets in '78 had nothing to brag about. Sure, the Mets were bad in the sixties, but they were new and the Yankees, in those years, were not world beaters either. What you can find online would tell you only that Mardie Cornejo took the loss in '78 (and that Ron Hodges and Ed Kranepool played).

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.

The New York Times of April 28 covered the game, but unfortunately for your purposes, they mentioned the Yankees a lot more than the Mets. For example, they cited all the Yankees pitchers -- Catfish Hunter, Ed Figueroa, Dick Tidrow, Ron Guidry, and Jim Beattie. But they didn't mention any of the Mets' hurlers, and there was no box score.

The Yankees won 4-3 in 13 innings before a crowd of 9,792.

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.

Best way to find out might be to write him and ask. I have his address if you're interested.

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. For each image, I keep the original file name, adding first and last name of the player, the team he is pictured with, and also the years played for that team (MLB and MiLB).

For corrections, first, there are 3 folders missing from the list that I have:
FE 361 to 450...87 pics not listed

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...
