Gary Livacari (of SABR) had identified Beck some years ago as the player immediately behind the one you've picked (i.e. third from the left in the middle row). Baseball-reference.com uses this image for Beck on his page (possibly suggested by Gary). They both resemble him.

Billy McCool, 1971 Kansas City Royals spring training, scan from ebay seller soxphotos

McCool's last major league appearance came as a member of the 1970 Cardinals. He was traded to the Red Sox that October, and then traded to the Royals the following February. He spent part of the 1971 season with the Omaha Royals before retiring at age 27.

I suppose there are other 60s-era players who stayed one step ahead of the cameraman, but Lu/Lou Clinton has been singularly frustrating to myself and other team set builders due to his travels in 1965.

There are plenty of usable shots of Clinton at his other MLB stops -- Boston (1960-early 64), Los Angeles/California (latter half of '64-early '65) and the Yankees (66-67). But there are folks like me who are stymied by his one-day stay in Kansas City (September 8th, 0-1) and Cleveland (.176 in 12 games beginning on September 9th). The detail of the arcane move that ended his A's days is termed a "voided waiver claim" by Kansas City and an allowed waiver claim for Cleveland the same day. He'd be traded to the Yankees that December.

Anyone seeing anything from a newspaper clipping on up, black or white or color, would be appreciated.

Found this nice portrait of short-time Cardinal and eventual Blue Jays/Red Sox/Astros manager Jimy Williams in an unlikely place: an obit photo of his then-teammate, Jerry Buchek.
Nice colorizing by Randy Kula.

I was just thinking about Rick today and how he was the last guy needed for the '81 Rangers. This is fabulous, many thanks.
