Posted By: <b>Mark</b><p>Jimmy Lavender played for Chicago Cubs from '12 to '16 then with Phila NL in '17, he never played for the Chicago Whales of the Fed Lg - which he is pictured in uniform on the E135 set.<br /><br />Can anyone out there name him?<br /><br />Or is it possible that he wore the FL uniform during spring training in '16.<br />Seems possible, but unlikely as he was an established starting pitcher.<br /><br />Thanks for any help,<br /><br />Mark<br />mrios@hotmail.com<br /><br /> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1201554614.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Mark</b><p>Thanks Mark for the feedback.<br /><br />Interestingly enough, Hendrix is already part of the set.<br /><br />I agree that the player pictured on the Lavender card does resemble Hendrix.<br /><br />I believe that Hendrix is also pictured in his Chicago Whales uniform<br />in the E121/122/220 sets, although those particular sets were produced after<br />the Fed. Lg. was broken up.<br /><br />Mark
