Looks a lot like this guy.

Winner. Winner. We have some new blood in this thread. Here are some anagrams for Cal Koonce:

Colon Cake
Cloak Once
Cloak Cone
A Cock Alone
Cock ala One
Lance Cook

Today's winner get a DiY baseball card of Bob Miller as a Padre on a 1973 Topps design. We also have a Miller card with Steve Rogers's name on it. Your choice. Thank you for playing.

From the same photo session:



I figured you were skipping this thread until the Miller prize was taken by somebody else.

My Mets stint wasn't much to speak of, so I won't. But here's what I will speak of. I set the all-time major league baseball record for Saves in a season. I picked up some MVP votes that season, as well. There's me down below, captured on film by the Man from Topps in the rare red KC A's unis. You know the drill. Who am I?

Marshall set the all-time single season record for appearances by a pitcher, not saves.



Too bad you didn't win this round. Because I've got a prize for you with your name on it.

Hi. I'm Jack Aker. I set the all-time Saves record in 1966 with 32.

Here's me in Lakeland, Florida, the last days of my major league baseball career, posing for what might be the only internet photo of me in a Tiger uniform. Hats off to you if you can figure out who I am. Who am I?

I woulda gotten more votes than Jack Heidemann for induction into the Mets Porn Star mustache Hall of Fame if only I'da thought to go 'stache during my Mets days. Well, hats off to Jack Heidemann. And Craig Swan. And Luis Rosado, I guess.

You know, now that I think about it, I did go 'stache when I played for the Mets. I wonder if I'm in their Porn Star mustache Hall of Fame? I wonder if my Mets 'stache was porn-worthy? I'm gonna check on all of this and get back to y'all.

Yes, but only if you give it to Steve and he gives it to me.

Well, at least I know you want that card. That's a start.

I think I've given permission to move it along in the past.

Which reminds me, I may PM you or Mags with a pretty decent sized list of cards that never were, not Met related though, at some point this offseason, for projects that may or may not get off the ground.

OE: Actually now that I think of it, several Mets could be involved.

Sounds kool.

Steve, I was hoping you'd autograph the Bob Miller card before it became mine. Up the value a bit. ;)

If we get to the WS I'm gonna make cards for each one of us. Submit a pic and what year you'd like the card to be, or leave me to my own devices (which could be dangerous). It'll be fun.
Look under your comfy chair.
You get a card...YOU get a card...YOU GET A CARD!

Hey Rogers! Be honest, here. This question goes back to that goofy exchange of posts we had over that '75 Dock Ellis card in the graded case that I made for the last Pirates card thread I posted: Did I send you on a wild goose chase looking for a non-existent 2000 regional Tampa Theater Dwight Gooden card?

I'm like most other one-time Mets in this and the original (and better) archived Butterball thread. I never played for the team I'm practicing for in the picture below, sticking around just long enough for The Man From Topps to capture the historic moment. I barely played for the Mets if you wanna hear about it and all that David Copperfield kind of crap. So who am I? And don't tell me that I was a young Martin Sheen look-a-like.

He said he never played for the team in whose uni he's pictured in, so whoever that is was never a Brewer. Of course, it's Pfeil. I guess making all those cards made you a whiz at recognizing Met faces.

Winner Winner. Want a Padres Bob Miller card with Rogers's name on it as a prize? How about a Lucas Duda? We have an overstock of DIY Duda's.
