I actually just got my game back today finally and I loaded them and they didn't even have the logo on their head. Does this mean i can potentially just get the facegen demo and make as many as I want of anyone and it'll work just fine?

Yes. The watermark logo is under the cap.

Well, since that isn't his Historical Minors ID, I'm glad no one was seeing that dead file in the pack. But what to do when pictures are limited? I resorted to some AI assistance and photoshop to colorize it. Would his teammates or mother recognize the 26-year-oild outfielder? Who knows? Best I could do for the 35-game Brooklyn outfielder.

Happy Smith was one of several players tried in right field by the Brooklyn Superbas in 1910. Young Zack Wheat owned left field, while Smith was one of four players who played at least 10 games in right field. Smith fielded well, but while his batting average was higher than the team average, he showed little power. - BBR Bullpen

If you've read this, know that I updated the pack with this one and bunch of debuts. Link is the same, just a new .zip waiting for you at the other end. Also uploaded it on Steam. Should auto-download if subscribed but I think you need to go to the Workshop and reinstall it.

Well I guess I'll help with this project so here's my first one it's Gabe Noyalis some random retired Blue Jays minor leaguer who used to give me pitching lessons as a teenager.

The fg file of Ed Cogswell in the pack I had downloaded appears to have been based on the photo of him on his baseball reference page in which he is looking from a side view kind of and as a result it looked a bit strange. The player in the Troy Trojans team photo is thought to be of Cogswell by most people on here so if that's the case, this one is a little bit of an improvement. This image was said to be Bill Tobin and even Buttercup Dickerson but those are not correct. There is also some speculation this guy might also be Mike Lawlor based on him being taller than nearly everyone in the photo while Cogswell is listed as 5'8 but most 19th century players heights were estimated so that might not be accurate. Either way, here's a face of someone

Hey Lans do you have an FG done for Jim Thorpe? I must have culled the one I had previously.

If you do, would you mind posting it here?

Thanks bud.

Grandson of the famed Chippewa warrior Black Hawk, Jim Thorpe was the greatest all-around athlete of the Deadball Era. In addition to playing major-league baseball for six seasons, the 6-foor-1, 185-pound Thorpe was an Olympic champion in the pentathlon and decathlon and at one point the greatest American football player in history, according to a 1977 Sport magazine poll. One sportswriter called him the “most marvelous creation fashioned in human likeness that has ever inhabited the earth,” but others described him as simple-minded, lazy, averse to training, and unable to hold his liquor. Thorpe’s disappointing baseball career –he played in 289 National League games and hit only .252 with seven home runs and 29 stolen bases – demonstrated what multi-sport athletes like Michael Jordan have since discovered: that mere possession of superb natural tools doesn’t guarantee success on the diamond. “I can’t seem to hit curves,” Jim admitted. “I believe I could hit .300 otherwise.” - SABR bio

Here's the one from the pack (left) and one that I did this evening (right). If needing the one in the pack, I reckon you can fish it out, so posting mine here in the thread. I used the B&W pic of him though he looks older, rather than fight the shadows from the cap in the Reds pic.

Mine wasn't too bad but as usual yours have more personality... the face is rougher as it should be.

Legend, thanks bud - he is having a productive 1919 for the expansion Newark Jays in my Dodgers save that features your awesome Mod.

I found another one that seems to have escaped AESP's project: George McQuillan (mcquige01 / mcquil002geo). Not sure who gave him that shiner, but best get a steak on it before his next class picture...

Hey buddy. I've setup a tournament with every team who has played from 1901-2024. I have your latest pack installed via Steam. I can post some of the ugly pics still out there if you want me to.

Don't want to put too much of a burden on ya, but it seems you have a ton of these covered over the years! Love it

[LansdowneSt]

Hi Mike,

Can just be names if that’s easier. There will be before and after when redone. Reminds me I owe the community a George McQuillan. Been working on Negro League MLE stuff which is a massive time suck.

Thanks

One so far is Andy Hansen of the 1950 NEw York Giants. Very ghosty

[LansdowneSt]

Andrew Viggo Hansen Jr. (November 12, 1924 – February 2, 2002), nicknamed "Swede", was a right-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball. In a nine-season career, he played for the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Phillies. Hansen was officially listed as standing 6 feet 3 inches (191 cm) and weighing 185 pounds (84 kg). He was nicknamed Swede despite being of Danish ancestry, according to The Sporting News' Baseball Register.

A two-sport star in high school, Hansen rose quickly through the Giants' minor league system and made his major league debut at age 19. He played for the Giants until 1946, when he voluntarily retired due to a family illness and then served in the United States Army. He returned to baseball in 1947 and earned a career-best five wins in 1948. After a contract holdout in 1949, Hansen's bullpen workload increased in 1950, leading to an elbow injury and the Giants sending him to the Phillies in the Rule 5 draft.

Hansen worked nearly exclusively from the bullpen after being an occasional starting pitcher with New York. After tying his career high with five victories in 1952, Hansen went winless in 1953 and had a short tenure with the minor-league Hollywood Stars before retiring and beginning a 31-year career with the United States Postal Service. - Wikipedia

I used the Giants pic colorized and with the mouth adjusted to be closed. He was, indeed, white as a sheet in the before pic.
