Albie Lopez
Albie Lopez had shown signs of genius interspersed with periods of mediocrity with Cleveland since his call-up in 1993. After five years in the Indians organization, he had pitched 228 innings in 69 games with the parent club. He started 31 games, completing only one. His record was 12-14 with an ERA of 5.99. Not only was his hurling inconsistent but his demeanor toward Tribe management was critical, sometimes publicly. Considering that he had been optioned 18 times in a 3½-year period, there was certainly some degree of merit to his criticism. An expansion draft was scheduled for November 18. Two new franchises were to be formed: The Tampa Bay Devil Rays would join the AL and the Arizona Diamondbacks the NL. The local newspapers in the Cleveland area began taking polls to determine whom the fans would most prefer to protect from the draft. Lopez made embarrassingly negative headlines as the one player the fans would least want protected. He was put into the draft pool and taken by Tampa Bay. He toiled away for the lowly Devil Rays for four years before joining the Diamondbacks as a veteran innings eater during their 2001 championship run.
Lopez, at best a journeyman pitcher, never racked up any stats in his 11-year major-league career that approached All-Star caliber by any measure. He never reached the potential many baseball experts had predicted for him. He had a good arm, was a hard thrower, a power pitcher. Inconsistency was his nemesis. In reality, he had a sparkling minor-league career but one that was unspectacular at the major-league level. He was known for always smiling but on a few occasions off the field created tension with management. These incidents went public, diminishing his image with the fans. Coupled with erratic pitching performances, these events managed to alienate the fan base of at least three of the big-league teams he served. - SABR Redid the facegen by request. |

https://www.baseball-reference.com/p...routda01.shtml It's probably the third of fouth times I fell on a FG like this one and they look so weird to me... like if the mustache was added with Microsoft Paint or something like that.

Deacon White
“When Jim White Played”
By Dale Lancaster, 1936 The baseball cranks all sneer at me, And poke a lot of fun, Because I tell of plays they made In the days of seventy-one. And yet, who cares for fun and sneers? By gum, I know I’m right! Somehow the game ain’t played the same As ‘twas by old Jim White. James “Deacon” White was the first player to get a hit in a professional league. Later, he helped popularize the catcher’s mask and he was the first pitcher to go into a wind-up. He received the first MVP Award. He was in the first great pitcher/catcher battery with Al Spalding and the first brother battery with Will. His homemade catcher masks helped launch Spalding's sporting goods empire. He was in the first “Murderer’s Row” with Spalding, Ross Barnes, and Cal McVey. He was one of the first opponents of the reserve clause, famously stating, “No man is going to sell my carcass unless I get half.” He helped found the first, if short lived, player-owned league. And he believed with all his heart that the world is flat, because the Bible told him so. This weekend, more than 70 years after his death at 91, he will be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. White is the only man who’s being inducted as a player in this year’s class. No living players, including the supposedly drug-tainted Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds, garnered enough votes. Conveniently, the long-dead White is above reproach. He retired in the 1890s. Few have ever heard of him. I am not a baseball fan. I have little interest in sports of any kind. But I do know about James “Deacon” White. He is my great-grandfather. I am named after him by way of my Uncle Jim Watkins, Deacon’s first grandchild... - Slate.com, The Hall of Famer, by James B. Jackson, July 24, 2013 I love this article and so have presented it in full in a Word document. If you've read Glory of their Times, it's got that feel to it as fading recollections of this nearly forgotten star are recounted (though by their kin and not directly). This facegen was a bear. Took me two hours to get that walrus mustache to look reasonable... Last edited by LansdowneSt; 03-15-2022 at 12:57 AM. |
