Is THIS your card? ;-)

Noted KC Royals pitching white whale, bubbling to the surface via Topps Vault.

He made TWO pictures, one like that...and one like this:

[Merkle923]

One of the unheralded stars of the '73 NL Champion Mets, depicted at his last stop, Cleveland in 1976.

[Merkle923]

Sadly not in an elusive Orioles uniform, but in camp with the 1982 Brewers, for whom he never pitched.

[Merkle923]

With his original team, the Pirates, whose staff he tried to crack for seven springs before they dished him to the Mets, who actually got Jerry Grote for him straight up.

Outfielder Neill Sheridan played for the Boston Red Sox in two games in 1948. He died yesterday (October 15) at age 93. He would have turned 94 next month. He is pictured in the attached in a San Francisco Seals uniform. Does anyone have a photo of him in a Red Sox uniform?

I don't remember for sure because I don't keep notes on where every image I use comes from, but yes, I think that's one of my old retouching jobs, taken from here:

I found these courtesy of the great Kyles sports cards on e-bay

Brief major leaguers Terry Bogener (24 games) with one of the Rangers big prospects from 81-84 Chuckie Canady...he never made the majors

Also...two players with teams they never played in a MLB game for Steve Comer with the Yankees and Rick Auerbach with the Mets

Carl Erskine and Carl Scheib are the two latest additions to the Wikipedia's 100 oldest living major league baseball players list at 99. (Erskine) and 100 (Scheib). The pair of 88 year-olds had long careers with one franchise each. Erskine spent his entire career as a Dodger in both Brooklyn and Los Angeles between 1948 and 1959. He won 20 games in 1953 and made his only N.L all-star team in 1954, when he'd have his second best win total of 18. He played an important role in several Dodgers' N.L. pennant winning teams and in Brooklyn's lone World's Championship year of 1955. Altogether he was 122-78 for an excellent .610 winning percentage.
Scheib was just 17 when he debuted for the Philadelphia Athletics in 1943. He missed most of 1945 and all of the 1946 season to military service, but otherwise was with the A's straight through to 1954. Released mid-way through the '54 season he caught on with the St. Louis Cardinals but only pitched in three games for them before retiring at age 28. He went 45-65 for some pitiful A's teams in their final years in Philadelphia.
Scheib is the answer to the trivia question, "In 1952, the year Bobby Shantz had his magnificent 24-7 season and won the A.L. Most Valuable Player Award, who was the only other pitcher in the A's starting rotation to have an over .500 season. Scheib went 11-7 that year.
Erskine, born 12/13/26, is the last player among the 100 oldest to be born in 1926. Scheib, born on New Year's Day 1927, is the first on that list to be born in born in 1927.

I realize this is absolutely no help for 99.9% of the purposes of the denizens of this site, but.... this is a legitimate picture of Mr. Sheridan in a Red Sox uniform (he's the one sliding) from spring training 1948. Not that you can tell.

Carl Scheib, 100th oldest currently living major leaguer
(according to Wikipedia), is pictured in his 1954 Topps
card (#118).
Carl Erskine, 99th oldest major leaguer, was originally
left out of Topps' 1953 set. That set contained 280
cards and was reprinted in 1991, but Topps added 54
players to the end of that reprint set, including about
a dozen Hall Of Famers, and among the additions
was Erskine. #s 281-334 are sometimes called
"the cards that never were". A chief distinction is that
the original 280 player cards are in color, while
black and white photos are used in the #s 281-334
add-ons. Erskine's card is # 308 in the 1991 reprints.

See some career highlights of Erskine and Scheib
on the previous page (Page 1319, Section 26378.)

Most of the older Folders have been solves. But these are still older than can be found on eBay. At least, I can't find them and no one else has stepped up. Also have a big question in the minor league thread.
