I'm no expert on winter league gear but that certainly looks like the San Juan Metros (see attached)

Thanks, Merkle. The cap reminded me of San Jose, California, but that San Jose had never been affiliated with the Mets, so I had been left puzzled. Thanks for coming up with an explanation.

In working on a 1967 project I was searching for an image of Del Bates in a Braves Uni - he was on the active ML roster for the first month of the season before being sent to Richmond when the Braves cut back to the 25 max in early May. He didn't see any action.

The only one I could find was of him in the 1967 Braves team photo - so not great but something and the only thing I could find.

I have this colored pic for a long time, but don't remember where I got it.

Here's another Bates/Braves option, from a long-ago source I don't recall.

1988 TRUJILLO, Mike Tigers

As always, thank you!

Here are some black and white choices for Trujillo. There's nothing in color yet as far as I know.

[DeweyintheHall]

Thanks!

Any photos of Al Santorini as a Phillie in camp in 1974

[DeweyintheHall]

Finishing up a 1967 project and need to find images of these player/uni combinations:

BUZHARDT, John Orioles
TURNER, Ken Angels Have Seattle pic from OOTP; Merkle had posted one some time back, but it's been deleted
LAUZERIQUE, George A's Have Oak, Need KC
LAU, Charlie Braves The one image floating around seems to be a cut and paste
OLIVARES, Alonso Cubs No image of this guy at all; he was cut to get the roster to 25 in early May; DNP
MANDILE, Tom Cubs Roster cut in May - no action
AMOROS, Sandy Dodgers After he and his family managed to leave Cuba in May, Dodgers signed him for 1 wk so he could earn his pension; DNP
EVERETT, Mike Phillies Military List replacement during the summer; DNP - couldn't find any image of him at all
FRANCONA, Tito Phillies

Thanks!

Alonso Olivares was actually cut on April 13, 1967, when he was returned to Seattle. But that was one day after the start of the season, so he qualifies as a member of the Sharman Society, or a phantom major leaguer, whichever you prefer to call him. The photo appeared on eBay in 2013.

Tom Mandile was also cut on April 13, 1967. Thus photo, showing him in a Cubs uniform, appeared on a website at mmgarchives.com in 2014.

[DeweyintheHall]

Thanks! And right you are - Mandile was sent to Tacoma on the 13th and replaced by Jon Upham and Olivares was, from newspaper reports I saw, sent packing on the 14th and replaced by Clarence Jones.

Mike Everett was called up to the Phillies around August 2, 1967, but never got into a major league game. This photo of him appeared on eBay in 2011.

Sorry about the Baerga flop, above.

This isn't on the UIN list, but I haven't seen anything for Chuck Hartenstein's 3 week stay in St. Louis (June 22-July 14, 1970), barring simarc's admittedly-excellent created card (which is based on an MLB photo from "Twiggy's" Cubs days) and a custom card from bobw113 that I never saw an image-source for. Nothing out there, and I searched the thread and came up dry as well.

So it's possible that this little thing, which was posted on the retrosimba blog, could be the only authentic Hartenstein/Cardinals pic found to date.



Or I could be completely wrong. Wouldn't be the first time, obviously.

Well, hello Twiggy! That's a nice professional shot, and that's Busch Stadium in the background. I didn't know the photogs got to St. Louis that often. Cool.

Thanks!

Perhaps not what you're looking for but it's from 1967.

[DeweyintheHall]

These are perfect - Everett, Francona and Amoros - thanks to both of you!

[Merkle923]

Braces, obviously

[Amazin69]

So fine. Thank you.

A search of the thread shows that we have JD McCarthy's planned postcard photo for Johnny Kucks during his failed 1963 Spring Training trial with the Mets (Kucks was technically on the Buffalo roster, having been a conditional purchase from the Atlanta Crackers in January, and would be returned to Atlanta after camp), but this is a nice portrait shot, I think:



(Available from Steiner Sports.com)

And while we have a Topps Vault of Kucks with Kansas City in 1959/1960, he's all bent over there. I think this SABR pic has the benefit of simplicity.
