With the recent passing of Ace Parker and Mike Palagyi there are just two living players who played major league baseball before 1940.
Career-wise these veterans of MLB in the 1930s couldn't be more different.
2B Bobby Doerr had a Hall Of Fame Career and played in nearly 1,900 games. The other survivor, pitcher Art Kenney played two games in a four day period of July 1938 and that represented his entire major leagues career.
Of course there are plenty of photos documenting Doerr's career, but what of Kenney? Any photos out there on him?

FIY: Hall Of Famer Al Lopez was the last survivor of 1920s big leagues baseball and he was 97 when he passed away on 10/30/2005.

Here's one of Kenney when he played for Holy Cross.

Considering the brevity of his career there can't be too many shots of Kenney as a major leaguer. Thanks, rb77: Good one!

Other than the postage stamp-sized photo on his baseball-reference page are there any photos out there of 1905 Phillies catcher, Clarence "Red" Munson?

I found two horrible photos of Eakle, the first as a member of the 1910 Baltimore Gas and Electric White Sox and the second with the 1919 Baltimore-area Hampden club, both from team photos published in the Baltimore American. I will use the slightly more identifiable White Sox image in the Facepack.

In addition to the image on Munson's B-R.com page I have these three:

It's not great and it has a slight watermark, but here is Tom Jordan with the St. Louis Browns.

I have completed and uploaded the 2013 end-of-season release of the Facepack. This version includes 189 new photos:

163 new player photos, including 62 new 2013 player debuts
3 new manager photos, including 1 new 2013 manager debut
11 new coach photos, including 3 new 2013 coach debuts
12 new umpire photos, including 3 new 2013 umpire debuts

Since the last Facepack release in August 2013, 11 formerly-missing players, 1 formerly-missing manager and 8 formerly-missing umpires have been found. I have also corrected 11 player ID errors and removed 3 other player photos that had been incorrectly identified.

You can see additional details about this release, along with download links, on my Facepack page.


If you use and enjoy the Facepack, please consider making a small donation to help me justify all the time I spend tracking down baseball photos to my family. There is a direct PayPal link on my Facepack page.

1. Thanks, Merkle923 and Braves70, for providing me with perhaps the sharpest images I've seen in years. Though I'm a collector of just Pirates images, here I am downloading guys like Bob Terlecki and George Manz, and researching their careers.

2. I already asked for all my most wanted Pirates images earlier, except five, so here goes:

Joe Page, a Pirate for two months in 1954.
Don Money, hopefully on a Pirates ToppsVault image in 1966 or '67.
Jim Foor, 1973 Pirates.
Chris Zachary, 1973 Pirates.
Wayne Simpson -- ToppsVault 1974 or '75?

Thanks,
Jay
