August Pick Ups

[JeremyW]

Gary- Great cdv. It looks like one of the players couldn't make it for picture day? I try to get up to South Bend at least once a year for some college football. I just noticed, maybe the missing player is the shy guy hiding in the background?

That's the best hypothesis I've heard so far, Jeremy.

Added a couple of Kansas minor league items. Topeka Reds program. They were coached by Johnny Vander Meer. Next is a Wichita Aeros jersey from the 1975-76 time frame and could have been used into the 1980 season.

Vandy, Babe and Paul Derringer Type 1 (?) photo prior to Vandy's 2nd consecutive no hitter.

Slug on back gives the detail...

Nice addition having the slug to give the details on the back! It's weird how much the lighting can change the look from one photo to another. I went back and looked at the one you picked up from me a while back, and did a double-take b/c it looked like Vandy was wearing a different jacket. I think it just looks a lot darker in your newer shot because of the shadows/lighting. Must have really set the mood, as I can also see Vandy has slipped his hand over on ol' Babe's knee by the time your newer photo was taken...

Lance,
He absolutely IS wearing a different jacket. To facilitate the photo shoot, for whatever reason, they had him change his jacket. Weird!

Are you sure? Because the buttons on the right side of the jacket are the same shape and in the exact same place and position in both. I also noticed that the bill and logo on their caps look almost black in your newer photo, but are clearly a different color in the one you got from me before.

Weird either way, but now I'm curious to see what you think after comparing them side-by-side.
