Is that the RF foul pole for Clendenon Field in front of the L.Miller cage? It's gotta be, right?

Could be. It does line up with the Clendenon Field RF foul line. It's a very short foul pole, if that's what it is. I wonder why they bothered to finally install one, if they did? Who cares? Those are intra-squad games. Must've been some heated arguments among the players to finally get the Mets to put one up. Ol' Nelson Doubleday, the 95% owner, throwing more money at the Mets. We don't have many Sadecki Spot photos from the '80's, do we?

Technically no. Clendenon Field though, right? IIRC the other was Mike Scott and I don't think he was in the proper spot either. I'll be disappointed if you don't have a few bonifide 80's Sadecki Spotters up your sleeve.

Your picture looks cropped. I posted that pic earlier, or maybe in the "retired" Butterball thread, to compare it to the Zimmer pic. It's Butterball Field.

I can't hide from that Man From Topps. He'll get me even if I'm not modeling one of those snazzy original understated Padres uniforms. I can't lose him in this nation, no matter how big it is. Who am I?

Who am I? I once broke up a pitcher's perfect game in the first inning. Or something like that. Wish I could pose for you in those classic original Pads unis. You'll have to settle for these duds instead, probably the first incarnation of garish 70's sportswear this furshlugginer team would come to be known for.

Who am I? You won't find me on a Topps baseball card in a Padres uniform. Or a Mets uniform. You might not even find me in the Mets records. Unless you know where to look. Talk about ephemeral.

I got 7 packs of these today and I'm doing good. Didn't get the Seaver (yet), but I got the deGrom, Harvey, Niese, a real nice Tony Perez and Steve Carlton, and a special card that states that Brian Harper is a pillar of Washington society. Really? Oh, i see, the card back says he bought some school a locker room. Whoopdeedoo.

Come on, where's quality control? And don't try to trump me. You can't win that game. ;)

Spring Training, California Angels. Last chances for my fading major league baseball career. Me and a bunch of other hopefuls and fading jocks, desperately clinging for a shot. Me and The Man From Topps. Who am I?

I'm Charlie Williams, rockin' a DIY 1977 model Topps card with the Angels team name. To match my Angels uniform that I wore one Spring even though I never played for the Angels.

Winner. Winner. Larry Miller. Can I interest you in a Bob Miller 1973 Topps Padres DIY as your prize? It's got Steve Rogers's name on it!
