A Wish-list for Merkle?

Wow, I feel as though I should be better prepared…

Okay, then:

Anything that's been "created" via photoshop or whatever and presented in the thread. Obviously, I admire the fine efforts of all our creators, but just as obviously I would prefer the real deal.

(Some examples I remember off the top of my head are:

Bill Henry, 1968 Pirates
Dave Nicholson, 1967 Braves
Gene Green, 1961 Senators
Marty Martinez, 1968 Braves
Dan McGinn, 1968 Reds

but there are many others.)

Anything on Pegasus27's UIN list. I assume that pretty much goes without saying, but here I am saying it, in case you hadn't thought to check. (Except that I can't get the list to work for me…argh! Don't know if it's the site or my comp. Hope you have better luck.)

Kansas City A's uniforms for players who are only represented in the Pitchers/Batters packs with Oakland. Different city, different hat = Different team, IMO. The most dire of these would be Reggie Jackson; it seems bizarre we don't have anything for his first big-league team.

Rocky Colavito, 1964 Kansas City A's -all I ever see of Rock in KC are spring training shots (in the 1962 uniform!), a few B&W and one thing that looks like an illustration. A legitimate photo of Colavito in the green-and-gold (or sunday white) would be deeply appreciated.

Any 1967 Senators pictures in their variant uniforms with the white hats and white, un-striped socks.

Any 1968-1969 Orioles in the variant vested uniforms with the black undershirts.

Mets in color (my team has been photographed a lot, but if we can upgrade some of the B/Ws to color, I'm in favor of it). The players marked with an asterisk(*), I'll take any upgrade, even B/W, as the existing pics are not very good.

Jim Marshall, 1962
Clem Labine, 1962
Gus Bell, 1962
Hobie Landrith, 1962
Herb Moford, 1962
Larry Foss, 1962
Sherman "Roadblock" Jones, 1962
Dave Hillman, 1962
Ray Daviault, 1962

Don Rowe, 1963
Grover Powell, 1963
Jimmy Piersall, 1963

Amado Samuel, 1964
Wayne Graham, 1964*
Tom Parsons, 1964
Tom Sturdivant, 1964 (we have color, it's just too small, IMO)

Dennis Musgraves, 1965
Gary Kolb, 1965*

Dick Stuart, 1966
Lou Klimchock, 1966 (I have color, but it's a mediocre illustration)
Dallas Green, 1966

Hal Reniff, 1967*
Dennis Bennett, 1967*
Bill Denehy, 1967
Billy Wynne, 1967*
Al Schmelz, 1967 (anything, he's missing)
Joe Moock, 1967 (have color, need larger)

John Strohmayer, 1973-1974*
Jerry May, 1973*

Leon Brown, 1976
Pepe Mangual, 1976-1977 (Have color, but could stand improvement)

Doc Medich, 1977

Mardie Cornejo, 1978
Butch Metzger, 1978 (completely missing…and his name starts with "Met" for Mr. Met's sake!)

Phil Mankowski, 1980
Mario Ramirez, 1980+

Obviously that's a massive pile of randomness, but whatever you could produce would be deeply appreciated.

Also, as you may or may not know, jeffersons34n2 has an ongoing request for pictures of his late father, Jesse Jefferson. Top request is the 1975 White Sox powder-blue road uniform, although if you by some miracle have anything from Jesse's one-game stint with the 1980 Pirates, that would be top of the heap.

Again, thank you very much.
