Here's a quartet of pictures from the 1940 Ft. Smith Giants (Class C affiliate of the New York Giants in the Western Association) currently being offered by eBay seller ins3549. They're listed as being 1948, but none of the players were with Fort Smith in 1948 and the only year they were all with the team was 1940 (and they do look like all the same "set"). I've turned them to black & white and cropped them, but did no editing otherwise.

The Topps Vault is not merely an endless buffet of quality images of short-term major leaguers, but it's also a remarkable resource for photos of career minor leaguers who got as far as spring Traininh and no further.

Such is Mr. Leinheiser, who impressed Brewers' manager Dave Bristol sufficiently in instructional league work after the 1971 season that he got an invitation to Milwaukee's '72 camp and TSN quoted Bristol as thinking Leinheiser might contribute the way unheralded rookie Jim Slaton had the year before.

He did not. And within six months of that camp his three-year minor league pitching career was over. As we discovered only this week, he did leave behind proof that at least, he was there.

Here is another LaLonge option, from his 1910 T212 card.

Burke McLaughlin was a pitcher on the 1950 St. Louis Browns' spring roster. He died on March 9, 2015. The photo on the left shows him in a Toronto Maple Leafs uniform. His obituary photo is on the right.

Anthony Alphonse "Tony" Kubek was a prominent minor league and semipro outfielder, mostly in his hometown of Milwaukee. His son, also called Tony, played for the New York Yankees and later became a broadcaster.
