The gentleman to the right standing next to the man in white is Tommy LaSorda.

Which picture, team, etc?

[Dude Paskert]

I've posted a number of team photos on my Flickr site. To those who haven't visited, I'll share them with you here.

Seated: Reggie Smith, Johnny Bench, Davey Lopes, Tom Lasorda, Chuck Tanner, Roy Campanella, Bob Skinner, John McNamara, Bill Virdon, Joe Lonnett, Bill Russell, Steve Garvey.

Second Row: George Hendrick, Jose Cruz, Ed Whitson, Kent Tekulve, Dave Concepcion, Jim Bibby, Bob Welch, Dale Murphy, Dave Winfield, Bruce Sutter, Jerry Reuss, Dave Kingman, J.R. Richard.

Back Row: Steve Carlton, Phil Garner, Ray Knight, Mike Schmidt, Ken Griffey, Pete Rose, John Stearns, Keith Hernandez, Gary Carter, Ken Reitz, Dave Parker.

Wow, Jerry is pretty much right there heightwise with Murphy, Winfield, Kingman, and JR Richard in his row...I didn't realize he was such a big guy!
Kind of mean to make Ken Reitz stand next to Parker, same with Garner and Carlton. Makes Parker look about 7 feet tall.
How many people remember Jose Cruz, near the far left in the middle row? Fantastic ballplayer whose numbers didn't look great because the Astrodome was his home park.

The original for today's edit comes from Keith Olbermann's blog: "Baseball Nerd" back in April where he discussed the time period when the name "Highlanders" was phased out for the better known "Yankees".

Can anybody recommend a website other than e-bay that these photos could be purchased from. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm not sure of the specific year for this great team portrait, but Oscar Charleston was on this squad (front row, 2nd left). Therefore, this pic probably dates from 1922-23. Cheers! ~B

Wow!...What a great photo! BSmile - you've outdone yourself! I know I've said this before, but this is for sure one of the real gems of the entire collection.

I was able to do most of the identifications, but everyone please feel free to jump in with any corrections or updates - especially because it's always harder to ID players when they're out of uniform and spiffed up, as is the case here.

Thanks GaryL!
It took a fair amount of editing...but it was worth it. Glad you like it.
