Handley had two mediocre season for various Mets farms in 1963-64, and then somehow got an invite to St. Petersburg for Spring Training in 1965. He didn't impress the Ol' Perfesser enough to stick, getting farmed to AAA Buffalo, where he hit a resounding .144 and was cut. (But he did get two more years in the Tiger chain, somehow.)

Here we have the original press photo, my sharpened/darkened custom image, a cut-down of that, and a sepia version. (Just because.)
