Merry Christmas #10: Bill Voss 1965

Some players are just tough to find in color. Other than his Topps cards, it's tough to locate color shots of Voss with his original team (the White Sox), or his later stops in California, Milwaukee, Oakland, and St. Louis (seen only in black and white).

In addition to the Dexter shot below, I tripped over a poorly reproduced McWilliams shot of Voss with the A's on SABR's site. But better still, the third image is a fantastic internet deconstruction of an epic Topps error from 1973 on what's supposed to be Joe Rudi's card. It's long been known that the player in the middle being congratulated by his teammates isn't Rudi but rather Gene Tenace.

But I had never bothered to check - and didn't know anybody else who had - the identities of the two players shown with Tenace. Sure enough, they're Marty Martinez and Voss!
