I've never seen one.
Hate to have to guess.
It isn't the one pictured.
It's the one for Gus Mancuso
Or is it the same?

We'll use these for cards. You can't improve on success. I don't think we need to be coloring guys that we already have a quality color picture for. There's enough people that we don't have color pics for to keep us busy for quite a while.

I guess rather than post photos that we already have elsewhere, I should point out that many of the Cardinals of the 40s have already been posted by Tnfoto and others in the following thread:

There are some nice color shots of Joe Garagiola, Max Lanier, and others. I apologize for any waste of web space this may have caused.

Whenever I do a new team, I look around the usual spots for pics and assimilate those with the ones that you and Cheech, UKBaseball fan and tnfoto supply and come up with what I think will be the best pic to use for each player. The thing that I like about what you guys do is that there's always a bunch of players that you have found that are better than the one's that I have found - so it's been working quite well. If it's been posted on this site or on tnfoto's site or Baseball Birthdays, I'll probably find it, altho' I don't see a problem with you posting or pointing to them, as well. For example, Narron and Burkhart here are the best I've seen so far. I've found some other Beazley, Garms and Gumberts so I'll have to figure out which one works best. Anyway, I appreciate you finding pics and even if there's a bit of duplication of effort, the end result seems to be worth it to me.

George Fallon - infielder for the Cardinals 1943-45.

Freddy Schmidt - relief pitcher with the Cardinals in 1944, military service in 1945, returned to the Cardinals 1946-47.

Billy Southworth - manager of the Cardinals 1940-45 - was an outfielder for the Cardinals in 1926-27, managed their AAA Rochester farm club in 1928, then became the player-manager of the Cardinals for 1929. He was sent back to manage in the Cardinals farm system in 1930 but was brought back to manage the big league Cardinals in 1940. In 1946, he left St. Louis to take over as manager of the Boston Braves.

Here is a different Litwhiler image along with a clearer, unautographed version of the Byerly image and an extra Byerly option as well.
