Very cool photos Kevin..

Was that Manny Sanguillen behind the plate in 1966?

...but at age 15 he was likely as big! My recollection is that he hit a shot off our starting pitcher that probably burned up in reentry! Fortunately for us, the rest of their team hit like Mario Mendoza!

1972 NAIA Playoffs held in Turnpike Stadium which was the original home of the Texas Rangers. Now torn-down to make way for the Ballpark in Arlington.

My kids noticed two things about these pictures:

- Was anybody there?
- Your hair was that long back in the day?

No baseball glory days for me. If I had my father's eye sight I may have played. He could switch hit for power & average.

My calling was to another sport. The photo was taken my junior year in high school.

I dont have many pictures of me "in action" playing baseball during my glory days but I do have some photos taken right after high school when I worked in the front office for the Cubs. Those were truly my glory days.

I received this shortly after I was hired by the team.....They take photos for all the new employees and soon after started selling these to the general public



One of my favorite pictures which was taken right outside the press gate at Wrigley with my brother and myself. This was the first year I worked for the team and was able to get free tickets for family and friend. Notice the ticket prices on the sign!!
