Krantzbucks pics to colorize

Chatgpt prediction of what Breitenstein's face my have looked like as a young man. Its AI, it isn't real, AI scares me, it's all just for fun not meant to be taken as a serious historical representation, just a guess for fun.

His original profile on here says it was last active in 2022, despite him being banned in 2020, so it's possible. He still uses his Action profile by the same username and last posted on there earlier today.

I agree that the image of Grimm looks too old. Proof that AI still has limitations.


I tried the Faber photo in ChatGPT but thought the facial characteristics were a bit too altered. Consequently, I went back to less aggressive apps.

Thank you for the very nice improvement in respect of the Red Faber image.

I attach an image of Bud Clancy with the Chicago White Sox. I do not have a date for the image but comparing his appearance on the image with all other Clancy White Sox images this appears to me to be the one which shows him at his youngest. I am more than ready to stand corrected if anyone has a date for the photo displayed.

First-baseman Clancy made his debut with the 1924 Chicago White Sox appearing in 13 games. Before his breakthrough season of 1927 the left hander appeared in 4 games in 1925 and 12 in 1926. Establishing himself as the starting first-baseman he set career highs in games played (130), hits (130) , runs batted in (53) and doubles (21) while batting .300 most often from the 7 place in the lineup. In 1928 he matched his high in games played but although his average dipped he set career marks in at bats (487), runs (64), triples (11) and total bases (179) now mostly batting second. In 1929 he appeared in 92 games but was replaced by Art Shires as the primary first-baseman. In 1930 his appearances reduced to 64 in his last year with the Pale Hose. He was back in 1932 with the Brooklyn Dodgers hitting .306 in 53 games. He ended his Major League career in 1934 with the Philadelphia Phillies playing 20 games.

I have copies of this image labeled ca. 1927-28.

Yup, thank you. I can see why that assessment has been made. The 1924 uniforms did not contain the pin stripes.

Image of McInnis extracted from the 1924 Gutierrez Boston Braves composite.

McInnis was a leading first-baseman of his era playing a significant role in a number of successful teams. However, McInnis made his debut in 1909 at 18 with the Philadelphia Athletics as a shortstop. He played in 19 games that season then in 1910 his appearances doubled again all as a shortstop. In 1910 his batting average rose 62 points to .301, the first of 6 successive seasons where he rose above the .300 plateau. in 1911 with Jack Barry entrenched at shortstop McInnis moved to first-base to takeover from 37 year old Harry Davis as the starter. In his new role he moved to prominence earning MVP consideration. Normally hitting sixth his average rode to .321 from his 126 appearances. In 1912 moving up to 5th in the order he batted in over 100 runs for what turned out to be the only time in his career. He also set career highs with 246 total bases, 83 runs, 27 stolen bases, and 49 walks along with wins above replacement as his average again rose to .327 and also received MVP votes. In 1913 he came a career high 7th in MVP voting with 30 doubles and a .324 average. He equalled his MVP position in 1914 batting .314 but it was the last time he featured in MVP voting. In 1915 his appearances were limited to 119 games but he equalled his batting average from the previous season but was now normally relegated to the sixth place hitter. In 1916 he rebounded with 140 games but his average dipped to .295. 1917 was his last year with the Athletics and his average again rose over .300 batting fifth.

In 1918 he joined the Boston Red Sox to bat fifth as protection to a guy called Ruth. It was a disappointing season as his average dropped to a career low, aside from his initial season, of .272 from his 117 games. In 1919 he bounced back over .300 appearing in 120 games. In 1920 he appeared in 148 games with a .297 average. In 1921 he marked his last season with the Red Sox, mainly hitting sixth, with 152 games played a .307 average, 31 doubles and 10 triples.

1922 was spent in Cleveland as the Indians clean-up hitter batting between Hall Of Famers Speaker and Sewell. Typically he matched his normal baseball card numbers in his final American League season hitting .305.

Moving to the National League in 1923 he immediately lead the League with 154 games played and 37 sacrifice hits for the Boston Braves. He batted fourth and set career highs with 191 hits and 607 at bats while batting .315. 1924 was his final season as a starter batting .291 from 146 games.

In 1925 he moved to the Pittsburgh Pirates where despite setting career highs with .368 hitting, .437 on base and .484 slugging he only played in 59 games with George Grantham mainly at first-base. In 1926 he appeared in 47 games batting .299.

His final swansong was with the 1927 Philadephia Phillies appearing in a single game.

Appearing in 19 consecutive seasons McInnis amassed a total of 2128 games played maintaining a career average of .307 from 2405 hits. Only 20 were home runs with a career high of 4 in 1913, somewhat unusual for a first-baseman. Six times he lead the League with best fielding percentage at first base.

I don't have a date but based on the uniform (pinstripes), I think this is likely from 1927. If that serves your purpose, I'm happy to proceed with a colorization.

EDIT: I failed to notice that tnfoto had already pinned down the timeframe.

Thank you, yes it is a very nice image of Clancy but my choice of image in respect of Clancy would be the Conlon image from that year. The image could also originate from 1928 but I already have a colored representation from that year. Palette does a nice job, attached, on the 1927 image. Also attached the 1928 colorization,

In 1961 the Athletics' uniforms were blue and white. There was some red in the uniforms 1955-1960 and in 1962. The green and gold was introduced in 1963. The rendition of Shoemaker in his 1961 uniform is historically accurate.
