Felipe & Moises Alou: Father & son each with over 2,000 career hits. That's pretty unique.

[Oriole1952]

Both played at one time, or the other, with the Orioles!

[Oriole1952]

Francisco Pens, son of Tony Pena, just returned to the ML as the backup catcher for the Orioles. Dad got to watch as his son played the Red Sox recently.

that looks more like Mike Phillips in the Expos uniform...in his 82 topps or fleer card he is wearing the same uniform as this pic...and it really looks more like him than Terry

This Topps image of Mike (left) and father Jim (right) is from 1973 (or, at least, that's when those arm patches were worn).

In what is a real case of reading without comprehension, I blew right by the elephant in the room, as it were. This Reds media guide included Vida Blue(!) on the roster. Of course, thanks to meddlesome commissioner Bowie Kuhn, he never played for the Big Red Machine.

History lesson: in December of 1977, the Reds traded big first baseman Dave Revering (30 homers in AAA) and $1.75 million to Charlie Finley in return for his left-hander. Imagine: Blue and Tom Seaver in the same rotation. But Bowie said no. After a six-hour hearing in which both teams and players union chief Marvin Miller all gave it their seal of approval, Kuhn's verdict was still to void the trade.

Revering returned to the Reds only briefly; in February, he was dealt to the A's (again) for Doug Bair and played 152 games as a rookie. In March, Blue was then famously moved across the bay in a massive deal with the Giants that netted Oakland seven players and $300,000. Kuhn approved, and Blue was the NL All-Star Game starter.

Here is the photo of Blue in the Reds' '78 media guide. I would like to pretend it wasn't doctored, because I'm sure otherwise it would be the only photo of Blue in his phantom uniform.



To make a long story short, the 1978 Reds spring roster should include Bair as No. 40, not Vida.

On October 4th 2001 Tim Raines Jr and Sr. played a game in the same OF with the Orioles. Junior was a young prospect for the O's and the Expos sold Senior to the O's the day before so they could play together befor Senior retired. Junior was in CF and Senior played LF.

The John_Fuller image in the Batters pack is a carefully-cropped 1973 Richmond Braves photo. This image, from a 1974 Braves team photo, is hardly good but at least we know that a Fuller/Braves photo exists. I'll leave him on the list for now as "need better."

Taking a break from the UIN posts for a moment, here is a Facepack upgrade, picturing Patton as a senior at Temple University.

1933 Phillies, from a forgotten eBay source.

For whatever its worth, here's a picture of John Fuller in a Braves uni from a Braves yearbook. I previously posted this at Baseball-Birthdays, IIRC.

I've seen that card check-listed as Edward Doescher, but Baseball-reference does not list such a player with 1912 Jersey City or any other minor league team. Jack was on the team. Baseball-reference uses the same photo for Jack Doscher.
