1966 Braves.

[Merkle923]

Just didn't realize you needed one. Marty Keough, Braves '66.

So there's one white whale from that team - John Herrnstein, Braves '66. You wouldn't think he'd be impossible to find; he was there six weeks.

Thanks again for filling a need, Merc. I still have Ed Sadowski missing from the 1966 Braves. Did I miss that one being posted? There are also some others who only have black and white and Ron Reed that I have not been able to find in the same 1966 uniform. Lastly, of the black and white images, is there one of Abernathy that is color? Thanks again

Does anybody have a 1971-72 Don Money pic from the Topps Vault with the enclosed unis?


Thanks,

Please, top it! Whenever I post a an image I'm quite happy if someone shares a larger, clearer, better photo. Thanks!

Here's one that I forgot...a 1974 Dennis Paepke from the Topps Vault with the enclosed unis.


Thanks,

Rice University went into the bottom of the 11th inning yesterday trailing Texas State by one run before rallying for two runs to give College Baseball Hall Of Fame coach, Wayne Graham (2012 election & induction) his 1,000th coaching win at Rice. In 23 seasons at Rice Graham's Rice Owls teams are 1,000-401 for a .714 winning percentage (about 5 wins per every 7 games played).
After a rather pedestrian 11 year pro career (1957-1967) mostly in the Philadelphia Phillies organization as a thirdbaseman/outfielder that saw him reach the majors briefly twice in 1963 with the Phillies and 1964 with the NY Mets Graham returned to the University of Texas where he completed bachelors and masters degrees in Physical Education. He coached high school baseball throughout the 1970s, then moved on to coach at San Jacinto Junior College (in the Houston suburbs) in 1981. His teams compiled a record of 574-113 there for an extraordinary .836 winning percentage in 11 years through 1991, winning five Junior College World Series titles (the JUCO WS). No Graham-coached team on any level, including high school has finished at or below .500.
Now 77, Graham said recently he wants to keep coaching baseball and hasn't thought seriously about retiring.
Photos from throughout his career follow.

A strong season at Dallas- Fort Worth(AAA level - American Association) in 1962 earned Graham at shot at the majors the following Spring Training.

Wayne Graham had his first cup of coffee
in the majors as a Philliein April and May of 1963.

His subsequent high school, junior college and
Division One college coaching career proved
that Graham was much more than that.

[KenRaffensberger16]

Over the past 34 years Graham's teams at San Jacinto Jr. College and
Rice Univesity have compiled a dominant 1574-514 record for a .754
winning percentage. His San Jacinto teams have won five Junior College
World Series titles (1985, 1986, 1987, 1989 & 1990) and his the 2003
Rice team took the College World Series.

Graham had his second shot at the majors with the NY Mets from
August to October of 1964. He was one of the players the Mets
acquired in a trade that sent slugger Frank Thomas to the Phils.

MODERATOR NOTE: Thanks to FatJack for the colorization.

Wayne Graham was elected to the College Baseball
Hall Of Fame in February 2012, and his induction
ceremony was on June 30 of that year. Graham's fellow
inductees that year included all-star, Nomar Garciaparra
and Hall Of Famer, Lou Brock.
(Photos are from the College Baseball HOF website).
Graham's career win-loss totals in his College HOF bio blurb
here has not been updated and is only accurate through 2011.

In an interview Feb. 13 hours before Rice's 2014
season opener Graham said he hasn't thought
seriously about retiring yet, although he will turn
78 in April. (2/13/14 - Houston Chronicle).

[KenRaffensberger16]

After falling behind Texas State in the 11th, Rice
rallied for 2 runs in the bottom of that inning for
4-3 win, providing coach Wayne Graham with his
1000th coaching victory at Rice.
( from 2/19/14 Houston Chronicle).

Colorization, sure, but its also a transformation of the Phillies B&W just above, here. Pretty obvious, too, if you look at the Mets script.

Anyway, Merkle posted a legitimate Wayne Graham Mets photo a while back. I'd go with that one.
