Lloyd Fourroux

Lloyd Fourroux was an Orioles prospect in the 60s. Playing mostly in the outfield, he showed decent power and had a couple of outstanding seasons with the Stockton Ports. He later converted to pitching, but was still seen as a valuable bat off the bench. He also had a front row seat for two of baseball's longest games. In 1965, Fourroux was with the Elmira Pioneers for a 26 inning affair against the Springfield Giants that lasted 6 hours and 24 minutes, setting the record at the time for longest uninterrupted game. Fourroux watched that game from the bench. In 1966, Fourroux found himself on the Miami Marlins as they took on the St. Petersburg Cardinals on June 16. Fourroux was called upon to pinch hit in the eighth and blasted a home run that tied the game at 2-2. He then went to the clubhouse, changed into his civies, bought a couple of hot dogs at the concession stand, and took a seat in the grandstand to watch the rest of the game. That was around 9:00 pm. The game continued for another 5 hours. After the 27th inning, the umpires huddled and, unaware that a league curfew should have suspended the game an hour earlier, determined that they would suspend the game after 30 innings, should the score remain tied. This was announced to the 200 or so fans still in the stands and that announcement was greeted with boos. As it happened, the game ended after 29, with the Marlins stringing together a couple of infield singles and a sacrifice fly to take the lead.

This image is most likely from 1960, Fourroux's first pro season when he played for the Bluefield Orioles. All of the other teams he played for had names other than "Orioles". (I have, as I usually do on such images, switched the color to B&W to remove the yellow and red tones that take hold over time.)

Fred White

Fred White was a catching prospect who was a non-roster invitee with the Colt .45s in 1962. He is shown here wearing a mitt which Paul Richards had brought over from the Baltimore Orioles to Houston. The mitt had originally been designed for catching Hoyt Wilhelm knuckleballs.

Rich Sparks 1963

Was waiting for Topps to put this on eBay to confirm what had been just a guess. This is Richard Sparks, a draftee out of the White Sox system who was in the Giants' major league camp in 1964. Never made the majors but has gone on to become a prominent scout for Oakland.

Dennis Solari


The most recent Vault release features a couple of shots of Mets minor leaguer Dennis Solari, a 13th round draft pick in 1972. These would have had to have been from 1977 as that was the only year I can recall Dennis being in the big league camp. Around 1976, the Mets decided to groom Dennis as a reliever and he turned in a pretty good season for Tidewater that year, which got him onto the 40-man roster. But he never did reach the major leagues. After the 1978 season, he left baseball and returned home to Southern California. Sadly, Dennis passed away last year at the age of 59.

In addition to the Topps images, I'm including a snap shot of Dennis with Tidewater--most likely from 1976.
