Here's a couple of Oakland A's of the early 70's...
1970 @ Tiger Stadium. Note the spit coming out of his mouth. In the enlargement it looks really cool.
1971 @ Memorial Stadium, Baltimore. This one hangs next to the Reggie as a 12x18 in my kid's room as well.
1972 @ Comiskey Park, Chicago. I have this one in my office.

AWESOME! Those yellow uni's look great in such vivid color.

Just about everybody around here knows I am the world's largest James Rodney Richard fan. I also am an avid collector of anything Astros from 1975-1981.
Here are some of my favorite J.R. Pics. Again, these are original slides/images that are in my collection...
I have some Jose Cruz, Terry Puhl, Cesar Cedeno, Craig Reynolds and Enos Cabell slides that are explosive with color, but would have to scan 'em up. Enjoy these for now. I hope you like them!

How'd he go to the bathroom with all the stuff on?

The photo you have in your office is off the chart! No contrived pose - a natural look at an athlete - frozen in time.
Thanx for the scans

Those are sweet too! Now some old school Mariners and we have the trifecta!
My Auctions
A fat Randy Newman look-alike Jeff Burroughs, perhaps? How about a Gary Gray circa 1981? Or should we go into the waaaaay back machine and get after some pre-bronx Larry Milbourne? I'll work on it.

<< <i>...yeah...how DID he go to the bathroom with all that stuff on? Did you ever see "I'm gonna Git you Sucka"? It's a spoof film of action heroes. The term "OG" for "over-gold" was a referred to as a cause of death. >>
I'm glad you picked up on that Phil! I wasn't sure anyone was gonna git my reference. Junebug, he OGed!

Thanx for the link...some really nice photos!
You've brought a nice fresh perspective to the forum with the pics...I appreciate that!
Looks like a dejected Mick.

Look at those meatchops on Milbourne! I had some in college, but I looked nowhere near that cool, probably more like a hobo

Cool link Phil. Check out Garner's stache:
My Auctions
I was hoping you were on board tonight! Yeah, Phil's stache is outstanding! I wonder how much tobacco juice was in that thing? Is that gross or what? I went with some chops-lite last winter and my wife about had a heart-attack! Off they went. It looks like Milbourne is saying "How many reebs come wit dat?"
The guy sure had a strong arm though. Quick first to third as well. Pretty solid player. Anyway, do I still get the trifecta even though he's in B&W?
Mike,
Thanks for those kind words. I was hoping the pics would have that effect. Since guys seem to like them, I'll put some up each week.

Yeah, I love the old school M's uni. I think the best part may have been the logo on the hat. I don't know why, but I always liked it.
The Sox played the Mariners in June of 1983 at the first game I ever went to at old Comisky. My dad won 4 seats for the longest drive in a golf tourney. The 4 seats were 2nd row behind the visitors dugout. I was just shocked at how cool Al Cowens looked and how old Gaylord Perry looked. Ever since I liked the Mariners uniforms.

I just clicked on your tag line link. I'm crying over here. The DeNiro SNL sketch on homeland security had me screaming. I haven't laughed this hard in a year.
Thanks for sharing,

Zef - there are some cool SNL clips on that link, even ones from last week - great find!
That Depot shot just gives me a lump in my throat. It's almost majestic.

Got any old school Freddy Lynn????
My third son is only 2, so he doesn't know better and seems to favor the Chicago Cubs. I'll fix that. He'll either adjust or move in with my wifes parents. Cub fandom will NOT be tolerated as long as they are corporately owned. Anyway, their room is full of original photos from the 70's. I'll post a pic or two of their room as well if I can.
I'll get Freddy scanned up later, but for now...it's off to IKEA. What a zoo!!!

Very classic pic!
I gotta tell ya tho - when they came out with these uni's, I wasn't excited - I thought they looked like softball uni's - nothing against softball BTW - just not classic traditional BB uni's. Now I'm used to them and the classic white pins are nice but can look a little boring.
But, ya gotta say - the home Yankee uniform is just something special to see. And in no way am I implying that the Yanks are the best on the planet - tho they think so!?
thanx for sharing
mike
I hear ya. My favorite uniform (with exception to the Red Sox home whites), would easily be the Tigers home. I like it classic as well. However, the bright pullover-style polyester of the 70's does more than please my eye. It lifts my spirit. I loved the game and the players of that era. It was when everything was new to me. Every person that is well adjusted has a period of innocense and optomism. Their "Born to Run" period. The mid-late 70's and to a lesser extent the early 80's was mine. When I see the road baby-blues of any club on a highlight clip my heart skips a beat. The Astros rainbows are more than a mere oddity of sports fashion, but a virtual stop sign on the baseball timeline that makes you look both ways. It was the popularity of color television and large media contracts that ushered in the bright colored polyester and, strangely, the over indulgence in excess from that era that brought back the classic style of grays and whites.

Heeeeeeeeeeeres Freddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This doesn't do the image the justice. I had to down scale it from a bit file on a cd that was massive. The translations cost me some clarity here. The image is awesome. It rates a 4. I will add more later...wife calls.
dgf
Any Brewers stuff??
Yep. There's one Boomer Scott ij one of these threads...maybe this one? I didn't look. I have some of the usual suspects as well. Not a lot, but some.
I'll get to them!
dgf
Thanks!!!! You say that is circa 76??? Lynn was and still is my favorite. I really would like to purchase something if they were available and you had the time.Very cool stuff.
