Dang it! I went all through the Senators chain in 1968 AND 1969 (blah blah, Sens wearing '68 unis in 1969 Spring Training, blah blah…) but I never checked 1967. Ah, Shew-t.

Shew and Shields do look quite a bit alike, though, both in the mouth and around the ear. But I guess that Shields' darker complexion is more than just the good tan I thought it was. Shews how much I know.

And the file jumps all the way from Jim Shellenback to Ron Swoboda at this point, leaving plenty of room for both Shew and Shields, in that order. Ah, well, Shew for the price of one, that's a good thing right?

So I guess those could in fact be 1968-vintage photos of dear John. And when he didn't impress in training camp, the Senators released him, going "Shoo, Shew! Don't bother me…"
