Phillips, Fosse, Duffy, Moses, Lolich, (position players) and Perry, Mingori, Tidrow, Kilkinney, Lamb, Hennigan, Wilcox(pitchers). If you have any other players in this uniform type and thigh high color batters and pitching pose, I would appreciate it. Just trying to see if this endeavor is possible. Thanks in advance. Sample uniform and pose.

I only have B&W Alex Johnson images.

Former record holders of the last century
Deacon McGuire - 1612 games - Played final game at catcher 1912 - established record in the 1900s decade- held record until 1925.
Ray Schalk - 1727 games - held record 1925 - 1940.
Gabby Hartnett - 1793 games held record 1940-1945.
Al Lopez - 1918 games - held record 1945-1987 (MLB career: 1929-1947).
Bob Boone - 2225 games - held record 1987-1993 - First player in history to catch 2,000 MLB games.
Carlton Fisk - 2226 games at catcher - held record 1993-2009. (broken by Ivan Rodriguez).

Top 10:

1. Ivan Rodriguez - 2427 games (record holder since 2009) -(MLB career: 1991-2011).
2. Carlton Fisk* - 2226 games.
3. Bob Boone* - 2225 games - (1972-1990).
4.Gary Carter - 2056 games
5. Jason Kendall - 2025 games
6. Tony Pena - 1950 games.
7. Brad Ausmus - 1938 games.
8. Jim Sundberg - 1927 games.
9. Al Lopez* - 1918 games - held record for 42 years.
10. Benito Santiago - 1917 games.

Current Leader among active players:
A.J.Pierzynski - 1676 games (with 2 games remaining in regular season).

At age 36, Pierzynski currently ranks #19 in MLB history and by averaging 108 games at catcher per season (2/3 of a MLB team's schedule) over the next 3 years, by 2016 and still before reaching the age of 40, he would become the sixth player to join the elite 2,000 games at catcher club.

Also does anyone have a photo of Katsuya Nomura? He has the all-time professional record with over 2,800 games caught in the Japanese Leagues.

Picking up where I left off, here's Pena through the years...

I only have this black & white of Willie Smith with the Indians

[lebby20]

Here are the first 18 cards (I have 19 so far Wilcox on another page) Thanks bearman for some fine images. Still in need of several more players.

[okcochise]

Looking good Mark! Very nice set. also, thanks Jeffrey; I did have that black and white Indians photo of Smith. Hoping Merkle might have something in color.

[rrb77]

Anyone have Bob Grim with the Cardinals,Indians or Reds? Thanks.

Again I find that I only have a black & white of Bob Grim with the Indians. I do notice though that the 1962 Topps card shows Grim from 1961 with the Cardinals. If anyone has the original of that shot, you could use that:

The complete set of 1972 Cleveland Indians black and white Postcards can be viewed at the Trading Card database at: The Trading Card Database | Cleveland Indians Gallery - 1972

[Braves70]

I forgot to post these two of Warren Spahn, the pitching coach for the 1972 Indians in case you want to make a card.
