Gambo and T_Wil1 Photopack

[Expos 1969-2004]

This picture is actually on sale on eBay by seller kylesportscards.


A few questions: Is Lou Brock the player featured on this image?


I never heard of Brock working for the Expos. Any explanation?


Of course Lou (with the Cardinals) was the first player ever to bat in a regular-season major league game in Canada, when Montreal hosted its first game on April 14, 1969 at Parc Jarry.


The only info I could find on the Internet was that Brock wore an Expos uni for Old Timers functions. Lot 113. Lou Brock St. Cloud Rox, Montreal Expos and "Brock" Jerseys ~ The Lou Brock Collection < Sports < Fall 2014 - Lelands


Any information will be appreciated. Thanks!

Werner is a coach on the O's system.Next time I see him I HAVE to show him these!

I've been trying to track players on the missing player list and will be posting my results. Here is 1901 Athletic Bob McKinney:



Source is from a McSherrystown, PA team photo circa 1900.

The previous photo of Frank Madden in the Photopack is actually Gene Madden of the 1916 Syracuse squad.

The correct photo of Frank "Red" Madden is sourced from the 1911 Duquesne University team photo in the 1912 Spalding College Guide.

Another corrected photo, this time George Hogan. The previous photopack photo was of Timothy Hogan of the Jackson Convicts. Our George Hogan pitched as George Robbins from 1909 to 1912 for Lexington in the BlueGrass League and whose image can be found in the 1910 and 1911 Reach Guide team photos for Lexington.

1910:


1911

I know Dto7 posted a pic of Cochran with the 1914 Norfolk Tars, but I found a couple of more photos of Cochran.

Unidentified news clipping in his Baseball Hall of Fame Player File

Here is a nice photo of one gamer John Kalahan (Callahan) who caught for the Philadelphia Athletics in 1903.

Here is an image of Vincent Maney, who played SS in the Ty Cobb strike game on May 18, 1912.

Image is sourced from a 2007 article in Maney's Baseball Hall of Fame Player File. It is from a newspaper from that time, but I have yet to locate it.
He is on the left and manager Hughie Jennings is on the right.

Sure looks like Lou Brock to me.

The Expos hired Lou Brock as a spring training baserunning coach in 1993. Not sure how long he did that. Lou Brock Jr. had had a tryout with Montreal in 1982, so it would certainly seem there was a relationship between Brock and the Expos.

You see players brought in in such capacities often in the spring. Maury Wills was a baserunning coach for the Mets one year, so, on rare occasion, you'll see a photo of Maury in Mets finery. They hired Jesse Owens for a similar position in 1965.

A couple of images of original Met Ray Daviault, being offered on eBay by citi-autograph. The portrait is a current offering, the full body pose is a past offering.

[BklynJace]

There have been TV pics of him as a Met before, but to my eye both of these are better than what we've seen.

Not a lot out there, certainly not in color, of this Padre.

[FatJack]

Hank Webb pitched 5 games with the Dodgers to wrap up his mostly Mets career. This is the best I've seen of him in color Dodger blue.

[Merkle923]

Uncommon with A's.

[Merkle923]

Long-time pitching coach, rare in any uniform as a player (Twins '75, Padres and Jays '78)

[Merkle923]

There were more color images of him with the Pilots than the Twins, for whom he exploded out of the gate with 2 homers and 5 RBI in his first three games in 1973. Not any more.

Len Whitehouse..1986 Angels Spring Training

[Merkle923]

I was in the baseball-covering business on the west coast when this guy made six September starts for the 1985 Giants, half of them against the Dodgers, and I have no earthly remembrance of having ever heard of him before.

Worse yet, I was at the Angels' camp for two weeks in '86 and have no memory of Whitehouse!
