BTW, there are at least five images of Simmons with the Cardinals wearing the new red hat that began in 1965. Makes it a head-scratcher why an older shot was used on his 1966 card. As a result, I grabbed a custom card image of that as well.

Simmons is now 89 and he's reached the 100 oldest living MLB players list at #97.

Hello. Are there any photos of Jim Minshall as a Mariner?

[baseball-birthdays.com]

I bought a large lot of 35mm color negatives last year and have just begun working my way through them. Most are uninteresting junk, but there are a few that have caught my eye... unfortunately no dates or IDs. Some I recognize, some - like this one - I don't. Can anyone put a definite name to this player?

I'm working through a set of slides from the 1994 Tigers spring training camp... this one is identified as "Gonzalez" - there was a catcher named Pete Gonzalez in the Detroit system that year, but this is not him. There was a also a pitcher named Frank Gonzales, but it's not him either.

Does anyone recognize this player?
