The photo below of Hank Zacharias shows him with his college team -- Winona State University, in Minnesota. It's from the Winona Daily News of March 24, 1968. I don't think he got his picture in the newspapers while with the West Palm Beach Expos. He was released by West Palm Beach in June of 1969.

Found these on ebay. Not the entire team but still some nice shots.

Andrew Thomas, Stanley Justak, Joseph Holtz, Henry Bunoski, and Walter Balash.

[Patsy Tebeau]

Names of players are: Miller (first name unknown), Bill Massey, Earl Warner, Jack O'Brien, Tom Catterson, Mal Eason (manager), Walter Bellis (a distant relative of mine!), Elmer Knetzer, Richard Jolly, Eddie Ainsmith, E.L. Arundel (president), Fred Reynolds, Adler??? (name not listed on baseball reference roster)

[Patsy Tebeau]

Wasn't able to find this team pic with the names labeled but I assume my relative is in this pic too since he's listed as having played for them in 1910 when this pic is from.

This photo shows Doffek with the Vero Beach Dodgers. It's from the Indian River Press Journal of July 9, 1991.

Adler was Bobby Adler, who seems to have joined Lawrence in August from New Bedford (according to the Fall River Globe of Aug 3, 1909, pg 7). He shows up in box scores for both clubs in 1909.

Pitcher Miller was released by Lawrence on August 31, per the Lynn Daily Item (pg 6). The photo was taken in August. There is a Miller showing up as an outfielder earlier in the season. Not sure if it is the same player or a second Miller.

I'm looking for photos that show the faces of these two guys. I have found two awful photos of them that could picture almost anyone. The two are:

Emery Olsen, 2B/SS, who was called up to the St. Louis Browns in 1910, but never played in the majors. He was injured the entire time he was with the Browns. His Baseball-reference.com record is at:

Raymond Cameron, SS, who was chosen by the Philadelphia A's in the September, 1911 draft from the minor leagues, but he never played in the majors. His Baseball-reference.com record is at:

Here he is from the 9/8/1911 Detroit Free Press. His nickname was Scotty. https://www.newspapers.com/article/d...ame/164598522/

Here's what I know about this ballplayer: He attended Ross Sterling High School in Houston. Then he attended San Jacinto Junior College in Pasadena College. In addition to being drafted by the Reds in 1968, this pitcher was drafted by the Twins in 1969.

The photo below is from the Houston Chronicle of January 28, 1968.

Found a couple of improvements over what I had as an image for this infielder. The key to the search was misspelling his first name as Emory.

Olson was a slick-fielding minor leaguer who was on the St. Louis Browns' spring roster in 1910. They carried him on their roster over into the beginning of the season, but he never showed up to play with them because he had a nervous breakdown. He had made a bonehead play the previous year, and he continued to obsess about it. He just couldn't mentally get ready to get back into the baseball competition. He was placed into a state mental facility for a while. He tried to make a comeback with the San Francisco Seals in 1913, but it was unsuccessful.

The first image is from the Louisville Courier-Journal of March 26, 1908. It shows him with the Louisville Colonels. The drawing is from the Topeka (KS) State Journal of March 18, 1910. I think it shows him with the Topeka White Sox.

Olson had an older brother who also played in the minors at about the same time. His name was Sylvester "Ole" Olson.

Hello again to all in the forum. I've been away for awhile. I'm looking for an image of Roger Stevens a L/L Centerfielder in the Mets chain in the late 60's. He played well but wasn't extraordinary. Made it to the AA level. Injuries may have cut his career short. Played college ball at Cal. Thank in advance.
