Silver King 1886

King only played for New York for 1892 and the very beginning of 1893, so here's a fairly good image of him in that uniform.

1978 - Roric Harrison
1 Attachment(s)
I love it when things like this pop up in the TV e-Bay offerings, as this just did. After pitching all of 1977 at the Tigers' AAA affiliate in Evansville, the journeyman Harrison was given a card in the 1978 set, anticipating he'd come up to the Tigers. He was, inopportunely for Topps, released during Spring Training, was signed and released by the Pirates and finally signed with Minnesota, where he was sent to the minors before being called up and seeing his last major league action later in the year with the Twins.
Anyway Topps must have shot him in camp in 1977 with St. Louis, as this full image from his 1978 paint job shows. |

Mystery man in the Topps Vault release on eBay...
Listing has KJ756 as Ernie Whitt. It's not him. It's David West.

Tom Underwood 1974

Yeah, I know, now there's a glut. Turns out there were at least four images in the collection.
Do we think this is in Pittsburgh? In which case it was taken on July 4, 1977. Other possibility is Philly - but I'd bet it's Three Rivers. |
Stoney McGlynn 1906

A different Cardinals' pitcher from just 70 years before Underwood.
Clean Sweep Auctions is selling two of the startling, almost disturbing, Bregstone postcards that chronicled the Cardinals and the Browns of the 1908-1911 era. To me this is one of the great baseball photos of all time, complete with the Sportsman's Park grounds crew in the back looking like Victorian chimneysweeps. Ulysses Simpson Grant McGlynn might have been the greatest dud rookie pitching prospect ever. In the minors and in a brief stint with the Cardinals, he won 43 games in 1906. The next year, his lone full season in the majors, he led the N.L. in starts (39), innings pitched (352), hits allowed (329), walks (112, earned runs (114) - and losses (25). On the other hand, look at this photo! |
Rube Waddell 1897

And Clean Sweep's other Bregstone - of Hall of Famer Rube Waddell, and another nomination for one of the game's great images.
Over Waddell's right shoulder, that would be a 1908 version of the "Hit Sign Win Suit" ad from Brooklyn. Amazing. |
