Damn. He's even in his ChiSox uni on the card. I shudda got this one.

Baseball card collectors of a certain age might think that I once played for the NY Mets. I didn't. Who am I?

Another stumper. Youse might've recognized him if I airbrushed the logo right off of his baseball cap.

What Mike Joyce and Jerry Robertson said. Who am I?

[Zvon]

Was a '67 card right for him? He must be in that '67 SGT PEPPER parody cuz I know that ugly mug all too well.

[Zvon]

BTW, great photo for my collection, thank you

I don't know that any card's right for Ernie. Like Mike and Jerry above him, he never played for the Mets. Unlike most of the other Who Am I's in this thread, who played for the Mets but were never Toppsed -- Ernie did get a real 1966 Topps card.

That's gotta be Ed Kranepool, right?

(He got that clean close shave by using Gillette Foamy.)

Yeah, but I doubt it was the Gillette Foamy because Ed probably wasn't shaving yet.

This guy's using Topps photography to sell his own large prints of Tom Terrific at The Sadecki Spot.

A person using Topps photography for evil purposes!

Seriously-he can get away with that? I got a nice new printer here. I'll sell copies of all my Met pics at half that price.

That might be a better quality photo than the one I have. Thank you.

The Men at Topps filed this Man From Topps photo of me in their Kansas City Royals section, even though I'm pictured in a Mets uniform at Shea Stadium. So who am I?

Wow. Hawk was scalped.



My apologies to Taylor for that comment.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Now he's using Topps Photography to sell 45" x 37" prints of Seaver at the Sadecki Spot. He operates out Russia, if that matters any.

Where did he get a pic of my living room?

Another Who Am I from The Department of Baseball card collectors of a certain age might think that I once played for the NY Mets. I didn't.

Who am I?

[batmagadanleadoff]

For all the times I appeared in a Mets yearbook, you'd figure that I'd get at least one Topps card in a Mets uniform. Here's a neat trick: Adding a consonant to the front of my first name spells the name of another Met.

Damn. I knew that face. Didn't want to peek at cards. I was gonna say Martin Milner.

This shot coulda been on the first Topps baseball card ever photographed at the Astrodome. Too bad. Who am I?

[Zvon]

Thats Doctor Ron Taylor.

It's Astro day here at the Who Am I? thread.

Looks like Rusty in the top middle, and of course Series MVP Ray Knight down below. The airbrush cap on the Padres uniform is brutal!

[Zvon]

Felix Mantilla, Bob Aspromonte,...

Doug Rader?

[batmagadanleadoff]

It's still Astro day here at the Who Am I? thread. One more to go (the one-time Met that went from the Padres to the Astros in the '70's), plus one new one more to go.

I knew we saw this guy (cripes this is a long thread to look thru). And I said the same thing, Rader. Ha.

Dave Roberts.

I swear someday these'll stick Bats.
