Lance... no problem; you're not alone "everyone" messes up now and then.
Am I correct that this kid image was a wire photo used for around his retirement and/or HOF induction? |
Yes, and a lousy image at that. I got a PM question about the Larussa photo, and in rooting around trying to find it, uncovered the Brooks childhood photo, so I went ahead and updated it above. It was indeed issued in 1983 to coincide with his induction into the HOF (may have been used again later when he retired, but I don't know). The image is from a family photo taken in 1938 when Brooks was 17 months old.
