I'm told that in 1972, he was on the roster and never played...

A catcher from Arizona State. (Jace, the others I zipped up for you - older models)

... but I suspect that knowing an image is AI beforehand is putting a finger on the scale. Kind of like the CGI Governor Tarkin from Rogue One -- the complaints were from people who knew Peter Cushing was long dead and that couldn't be him. People who had no idea Cushing was dead largely didn't notice anything was strange.

That's a great observation - when you know it's AI, there's a bias.

Another thing to try is this: line up all the photos of a player in your collection and take note. In many cases, the faces can look fairly different across the whole spread, at least to some degree. AI will be no different, even though some images will really ring the bell and others won't.

Sadowski played three games for the Braves in October, 1966.

Absolutely fantastic ! If you have the time, please consider his brother Bob, a 1966 Red Sox pitcher, a 1975 Ed Brinkman (NYY), a 1967 NY Met Hal Reniff, or a 1967 Twins Carroll Hardy ( the only player who pinch hit for Ted Williams AND Carl Yastrzemski). THANKS!

Great work! These pics are fantastic. If you have time, I would like Donn Clendenon, Expos 1969...38 games.

Buster Narum · Yesterday, 05:19 AM

Reniff pitched in 29 games for the Mets in 1967, his last MLB stop.

Buster Narum · Yesterday, 05:42 AM

Clendenon played in 38 games for Montreal in 1969 before heading to the Mets in June.

Buster Narum · Yesterday, 06:09 AM

In his last MLB stop - and his third 1975 team, Brinkman appeared in 45 games for the Yankees.

Buster Narum · Yesterday, 06:24 AM

Hardy played in 11 games for Minnesota in 1967 at the end of his career.

Buster Narum · Yesterday, 06:39 AM

Sadowski pitched in 11 games to finish up his career with Boston in 1966.

There was another Bob Sadowski who played from 1960 through 1963 (3B-OF-2B), finishing with the Angels in 1963. So for 1963, the two Bob Sadowskis were in MLB at the same time.

You're welcome, and thanks for the kind words. I made a bunch of the Clendenons, and may still make more. None of them were 100% on the mark to my eyes...
