Hello. I am looking for a photo of Dave Abell in a Cincy Uni. I believe it was a brace photo from 1967. Abell was a 1967 draft pick. Also looking for 1969 Asheville Tourist team photo. Thanks to any response.

Dave Abell
Quote:
Since Brace took his photos at Wrigley Field (and Comiskey Park), it makes me wonder what a low draft pick like Abell was doing with the Reds in Chicago. I have not heard that he was a Sharman Society guy on the Reds roster. Abell was from Southern Illinois. Maybe he just met the Reds' organization in Chicago for a signing ceremony and they let him put the uniform on. Baseball-reference doesn't give any minor league record for him. http://www.baseball-reference.com/re...d=abell-000dav |

Enos Slaughter Mets?
Anybody got a reasonably decent picture of Enos Slaughter with the 1961 Raleigh Capitals (or in Mets gear)? He was a player/manager for Raleigh in '61 and they were the Mets' farm club in that year before the major league team made its debut.
How bout a picture of ANY player with the Raleigh Capitals in '61 or '62? I've seen photos, obviously, of the earlier squad, when they were a Red Sox affiliate and Yaz was there. I'm curious to see whether the Mets maintained the Capitals unis or if they made changes. I've got at least a couple Auburn Mets images, but nothing from Raleigh. |

What's Up with Terry Wilshusen (Angels 1973)
Considering how many obscure minor league pitchers in the Angels system have already appreared in the Vault, it's somewhat remarkable that Terry Wilshusen hasn't surfaced.
Wilshusen was the team's primary Rule V pick (from Baltimore) and made the club out of spring training of 1973. But after one horrid outing (one-third of an inning, 81.00 ERA) he was offered back to the Orioles, who declined. Instead, in late April he was traded with Thor Skogan (what a great name) to the Reds as players to be named for Richie Scheinblum. Ironicall, Skogan (who never reached the majors) has shown up as a Angels prospect in the Vault. All of Wilshusen I've seen is an Orioles farm club B&W photo in WorthPoint and an okcochise B&W photo that purports to be Wilshusen. No record of his being shot by Brace, and no Vault photos to date. BTW, he abruptly retired in midseason of 1973 while with Indy and passed away at the age of 51, suffering a massive stroke and heart attack, it was reported. FWIW, the 81.00 ERA is criminally unfair. He came out with the bases loaded and one run allowed and old, dead-armed Ron Perranoski came in and gave up two or three rockets. He, too, was gone before May rolled around. Any solid Angels photo, color or B&W? |

Fred Mauer 1886?
UK Baseball Fan and I have had some private conversations trying to figure out how the one-game major league player who appeared for the 1886 New York Metropolitans of the American Association as a pitcher and outfielder received an identification change from Harry Brooks to Fred Mauer. We still don't know. In any event, Fred Mauer is not on the Missing Players List, so it is assumed that someone has an image of him. This is a request that the image be posted. Thanks.

Fred Mauer
Quote:
May I also provide an update to the change from Harry Brooks to Fred Mauer provided by Bill Carle in response to an email initiated by Cusick. Apparently Brooks was a fake name used by Mauer. Baseball researchers in trying to identify the individual Brooks inaccurately assumed it was the Minor Leaguer Harry Brooks who was active during the time. Cusick has also made the suggestion that in future, included in Mauer's career notes, reference is made that he played, partly or otherwise, under the name of Brooks. Cusick and myself are engaged in ongoing discussions in respect of the 1889 Davenport team photo depicting the Kappel brothers and we are looking into the possibility of the names instead of being listed left to right are actually right to left, updates to be provided. This would mean that the missing player identified, Charlie Gassner, is actually a photo of Sam Nichol, not unlikely, that would mean that Gassner is actually the player listed as Sam Nichol. One of many other consequences of this review would mean that the player listed at the bottom row to be Jerry Harrington is located at the extreme right not left, currently listed as Chuck Lauer and vice versa. I have to say from a personal viewpoint that the player to the extreme left to me appears more to resemble Lauer and the player to the extreme right appears more to resemble Harrington.

Small correction to the above posting by UKBaseballFan. The spelling of one name cited is Bill Carle, not Bill Karle. Bill Carle is the Chair of SABR's Biographical Committee, the group in charge of keeping track of who all the major leaguers have been throughout major league history. The committee also comes out with periodic updates to associated information about big leaguers, such as their dates of birth, places of birth, dates of death, and places of death.

Roy Foster
Other than Topps cards, does anyone have anything good of Roy Foster? Rangers, Indians (or other). Color preferred. Nothing comes up in "search". All I have is the attached (Cleveland image from the old Baseball Birthdays).

I'm Looking for photos of the Grove Street Oval in Orange, or East Orange, NJ.
I believe it was used as an alternate field by the New York Cubans when there were scheduling conflicts with major league teams at Yankee Stadium or at The Polo Grounds in the late 1940s (at a time when Orestes 'Minnie' Minoso was on the team).. |

http://www.charliesballparks.com/st/...range-Oval.htm I found baseball games played at the Grove Street Oval as early as 1934 (the Pittsburgh Crawfords made an appearance that year) and as late as 1963 (Essex County All-Stars vs. Union County All-Stars). There were later citations of Grove Street Oval, but all mentioned softball, so it's assumed that it wasn't the same ballfield. After checking Google Images, I found the scene below of the Grove Street Oval. It's from the baseball-fever website. The shot was likely taken during the 1940's. Also, further research determined that the version of the park in use during the 1940's was constructed in the mid-1920's. Last edited by Cusick; 02-25-2018 at 07:59 AM. Reason: Add image. |

That's a very nice shot, Cusick. Thank You very much. I visited this park just before I moved to Florida in 2010. I lived in Irvington, NJ which is about three or four towns away and is in the same county (Essex Co.), for many years. The park is not equipped for baseball today. In the lower left corner there are now basketball courts and there is a children's section - monkey bars, slides, swings somewhere (I think in what used to be straight away center field). The homes that face the park at the back of this photo are still there and are probably still valuable, desirable housing.
