The January 28 Daily Advertiser (Lafayette, LA) lists Bole Coleman as a new pitcher for the Red Sox (pg. 2). The Quad City Times reported Bob Coleman, former manager of San Antonio, was signed as a scout and coach by Boston (Jan 5, 1926, pg. 8), as did lots of other papers around this time. This makes me wonder if Bob Hale was supposed to have been the pitcher in the Daily Advertiser.

An article in the Johnson City Staff-News on March 4 (pg. 2) says the Red Sox will have 33 players in camp. A roster published in the New Orleans Times-Picayune on February 14 (pg. 74) stated there were 32 players on the roster, which it included. There was neither a Cook nor a Hale listed, but Bob Coleman was identified as a coach.

Outstanding research - thanks!

Yes...if there are any you are looking for I can happily post.

A number of early ones are those composites, but not all.

And, with the early years, there is always a chance that a misidentification has occurred, but I am fairly confident that they are all good.

If this isn't the original, it's the next shot in the session. Spring 1963 or 1964, as shot by The New York Daily News. By the way, if anybody's seen color of him or his teammate and trade-mate Tim Harkness in Met garb at Shea Stadium, kindly post.

thank you good sir!

bb-ref transaction notes say:

"September 16, 1990: Traded by the Cleveland Indians to the Toronto Blue Jays for players to be named later and Mauro Gozzo."

Black made two starts and one relief appearance for Toronto in the closing days of the season and then became a free agent.

(dunno the significance of the "21 Zeke" on the glove)

Do you have the identifications of the players shown in this colorized team photo, dated as 1917?

Identifications are on the newspaper clipping below. I do not have the source for this clipping; a hand-written note states that it is the 1916 team, though it could be the team at the start of the 1917 season when they were defending champions. Vean Gregg and Lore Bader are in the photo. Gregg pitched for Boston in 1916 and was sent to the minors for the 1917 season. Lore Bader was with the Red Sox during spring training in 1916, but was also sent to the minor leagues, and did not play for the major league team until 1917. Most importantly, Bill Carrigan is in the photo. He had managed the team in 1916, and then retired after the World Series. He was not with the team in the spring of 1917, so that almost certainly dates this photo to 1916.

I would be very grateful if you could post your alternate version of the 1917 team photo and the 1919 team photo. Thank you in advance.

[Merkle923]

Well this is oddly coincidental and a little unsettling. Larry Burright - whose photo we sought to correctly label - died three weeks ago https://ripbaseball.com/2025/11/06/o...ght-1937-2025/

Here is what I have for 1917. The resolution is not great. I still need 1919.

That image is from the 1916 World Series, and includes Manager Bill Carrigan, who retired from managing after the series. See below:

[Merkle923]

Kind of a white whale, in color anyway, son of the '50s pitcher, graduate of the same K.C. Royals "Baseball Academy" that produced Frank White, finally making the majors for cameos with the 1978 and 1979 Mariners and in September, 1981 with the Blue Jays.

This was part of the Brace collection I began to catalogue early in the summer and can now devote some more time to. I don't think Brace took it (it's clearly Anaheim Stadium) but there seems to have been some trading with photographers around the country (this might be a Mel Bailey) for players he missed.

Anyway, battered and unfortunately physically trimmed, here he is:

[Merkle923]

Some kind of record: two games, two teams, three Topps rookie cards with two teams (all using the same colorized Cardinals publicity photo), one start, one complete game victory against the Reds in 1966 in his major league farewell.

As often happened, when the 28-man roster was trimmed to 25 in mid-May, first-year players could not be sent down without waivers and were grabbed by a rival lower in the standings. Such it was for Dowling, who pitched one game for the '64 Cards, opened '65 with them (the Brace is doubtless from that year) and went to the Cubs in '66.

[Merkle923]

Good lord, Lawrence "Bobby" Locke threw 102 complete games in the minors!

Signed in 1953, it took him until 1959 to reach Cleveland. To the Cubs in Spring Training 1962 (never pitched for them, appears to have been on the big league regular season roster) to the Cardinals for one game April 22, 1962, traded to the Phillies April 28 - and made cameos with them the next three seasons. Phils traded him to the Angels for 1965; Angels dealt him to the Reds for Jim Coates; Angels bought him back in '66 and brought him up at the end of the '67 campaign (he won three, save two, in nine September appearances) and he was up and down with them in 1968, his final year.

[Merkle923]

The Opening Day shortstop of the '62 Chicago Cubs, White hit .158, was sent down in May, had a brief return in June, then continued to play in the minors (mostly in Chicago's farm system) through 1965. The Cubs had gotten him in '61 after he slammed 51 homers in three years on the lower rungs of the Pirates' chain.

The Cubs' panicky decision making at short came from the decision in 1962 to switch Ernie Banks to 1st Base. White started the opener, but was pinch-hit for by Andre Rodgers in his third at bat. Rodgers started the next two games (the Cubs were swept three by the brand new Houston Colt 45s). White and Rodgers traded the job back and forth as the Cubbies lost their first seven. The Cubs moved Ron Santo to short on May 11, and after a week of that, moved him back to third, tried Daryl Robertson, then traded Robertson to the Cardinals for shortstop Alex Grammas, then finally gave up and put first White and then Rodgers back in the line-up. Shortstop wouldn't be settled until Don Kessinger came up in 1965.

As Baseball-Reference notes, Elder White (his real name, and he had nothing to do with the naming of the character of the same name in "Book of Mormon") drove in one MLB run - and was thrown out trying to stretch his RBI single into a double. He's not unknown in color but I don't know that these two Braces have been seen before.

Apologies, yes you did have 1919 on your list of required images. May I request a posting here of the 1931 Boston Red Sox team image.

[UKBaseballfan]

Thank you, apparently no identifications available.

A significant challenge to put names to the faces I suspect but the quality of the image is very good.

Danny MacFayden can be seen fifth from left in the second row from the bottom. Is that Earl Webb second from right in the bottom row. Possibly Milt Gaston second from left in the bottom row, apparently sitting between two left handed throwers.
