Speaking of longtime Braves employees, here's their midwest scout of over 30 years back in his playing days. The record book at Eastern Illinois University says that Stu was drafted by the Mets in 1967, but I can't find any record of that in The Baseball Cube's list of Mets draftees, so for all I know, he just showed up in Mets camp that year, but he put in three seasons in the chain (culminating in a nice 9-game cameo with Tidewater in 1969) before the Mets looked at how Stu had Stu-ruggled at the lower stops that year and canned Cann.
Atlanta picked Stu up for a few more futile seasons of minor-league ball, before he switched to scouting and he's been beating the bushes of central Illinois ever since. Notable signings include Marty Clary and Zane Smith.
I don't know it the fact that Al Weis had #6 on lock from 1968 on means that this is from 1967, or if Stu was snapped in minor-league camp and so the duplicate number doesn't mean anything. Courtesy of Larry Fritsch Cards on eBay, once more.
