This is Ron Stillwell, btw.

Just found these. Great work FatJack, and many thanks for sharing!!

Jim Robertson, a catcher for the Philadelphia and Kansas City A's, passed away on October 21, 2015, but the news just reached the necrology sites. He was 87.

Jim was a three sport star in high school and at Bradley University, and originally signed with the Yankees in 1949. He was considered quite the prospect coming through the Yankee chain, especially after hitting .303 with Binghamton in 1952. Robertson was a workhorse who was accustomed to playing every day. And he was considered a defensive standout. The Yankees gave him a look in spring training in 1953 but a lot of what they were doing was "selling" him to other clubs. These were the Yankees. Yogi Berra was their catcher. Robertson was a trading chip.

After the '53 season, Robertson was traded to the Yankees AAA farm club--the Philadelphia Athletics (yes, its sarcasm). It was an 11 person deal and, with all the bodies being swapped, the fact that the Yanks were fleecing the A's (as usual) could get lost. Especially with a blue chip youngster like Robertson coming to Philly.

It was the A's final season in the city of brotherly love and Robertson spent all of it with the parent club. He got into 63 games, hitting just .184. In 1955, he saw action in just 6 early season games for the now Kansas City Athletics. He spent the rest of the season in Portland, where he hit just .229. After the season, he was sold to the Seattle Rainiers. Seattle released him in June. He was signed by the Tigers and finished out his pro career with Charleston. After baseball, Jim worked in real estate for a while. Eventually, he settled in Vegas and got into the mail order western gear business, founding "Robertson's Buckaroo Sales".

Now, for a guy with a short career, Jim did fine on baseball cards--getting two each from both Topps and Bowman. And there are a couple of very nice B&W A's portraits of Jim, both of which were posted at Baseball-Birthdays and one of which has been colorized by both John and Krantz (and probably others). But I saw this Seattle Rainiers image on eBay and decided that's the one I wanted to tackle. A common phrase from me at B-B was "not my best work", and that applies here. I was trying for the Stillwell grass effect and there was no saving it after that. It's probably over-saturated, as well. But I do like the fact that he's got (what looks like) dirt all over his face.

Jonathan "Clyde" Parris passed away on July 9, 2016. Clyde played in the Negro Leagues from 1946 - 1949 and then spent several years in the minors (mostly in the Dodgers farm system). Virtually everyone who ever played with or against him agrees Clyde should have gotten a shot in the major leagues. He was a great line drive hitter, they say, who rarely ever struck out. In 1956, he won the batting title in the International League with an average of .321. Most of his teammates thought Clyde would get a cup of coffee that year. But, by then, Clyde was 34. Being black and 34, Clyde had two strikes against him. And the Dodgers had an All-Star at third in Randy Jackson. Strike 3.

Cusick has posted two solid images of Clyde here.

Attached are two more images--both from the Montreal Royals--that have appeared in various places, including Baseball-Birthdays and Baseball Happenings. My rather lousy records indicate that I found them on eBay.

According to Clyde, himself, in a 2007 interview, he was originally signed by the Baltimore Elite Giants (note: the quote does not appear in the original article, but is quoted in the story of his passing--both written by the interviewer, Nicholas Diunte). The write up of his passing states that his stay in Baltimore was brief as he was released to make room for Willie Mays (other sources say he played with Mays on the Elites).

In any case, in colorizing Clyde, I put him in a Baltimore Elite Giants uni. Reason being I had a better exemplar of the Baltimore uni than I did of the New York Black Yankees. Anyway, FWIW, here's Clyde.

Christmas put me a bit behind in my colorizations. Here's Putsy. I'm notoriously bad with crowd backgrounds, so I dropped him into Shibe Park (technically, he was in Shibe to begin with, but a B&W Shibe; the color Shibe image is from years later).

Boo Ferriss in his rookie season. Photo accompanied his obituary in the Clarion-Ledger. I kinda forgot the arm patch, but I don't think it's that noticeable.

lebby20 · 12-31-2016, 11:49 AM

Would love to have this photo cleaned up and the autograph removed. Thank you for any help.

FatJack · 01-03-2017, 08:34 PM

Not entirely sure what you mean by "cleaned up", but here is a different image of the same photo that I already have in my files. It's a little "darker", so someone might do you better using the image you provided. But it came sans autograph to begin with.

Sadly, Putsy just passed away on the 8th of December. My sister loved Putsy.

Here is one I took a chance at doing a few years ago. Don't know how accurate the colors are, but this is what I come up with. Like this one a lot.

Bob Feller and Satchel Paige.
