I think I like T-Bop.
I don't believe we have ever been in a league together. As you may surmise, I live near Seattle. Where are you from? And where did you find that picture so quickly?

Marichal - Roseboro at Baseball Library.com

On August 22, 1965, Marichal faced Sandy Koufax at Candlestick Park in the heat of a tight pennant race. The Giants and Dodgers had come close to a brawl two days earlier over catcher's interference calls. Los Angeles's Maury Wills had allegedly tipped Tom Haller's mitt with his bat on purpose, and Marichal's best friend, Matty Alou, retaliated by tipping John Roseboro's face mask. Roseboro nearly beaned Alou with his return throw to the mound. In the August 22 game, Marichal had flattened Wills and Ron Fairly with pitches when Roseboro purportedly asked Koufax to hit Marichal. When Koufax refused, Roseboro's return throw came close to Marichal's head. Name-calling ensued, until Roseboro suddenly ripped off his mask and stood up. Marichal rapped the catcher on the head with his bat. What followed was one of the most violent brawls in major league history. Willie Mays led away Roseboro, who had suffered a concussion, while Dodger Bob Miller tackled Marichal, Alou slugged Miller, and Tito Fuentes menaced the Dodgers with his bat. Roseboro sued Marichal, but eventually dropped the suit. Marichal was fined $1750, was suspended for a week, and missed two starts as the Giants finished two games behind the Dodgers. Years later, Marichal said, "I feel sorry that I used the bat."
In the spring of 1970, Marichal suffered a severe reaction to penicillin that led to chronic arthritis and a back injury when he tried to return too soon. Having lost much of his former stuff, he pitched with guile. He won 18 for the Giants in 1971, including the division clincher on the last night of the season. After going 6-16 in 1972 and 11-15 in 1973, he was sold to the Red Sox, and managed a 5-1 record in spot starts. After he was released, he tried to catch on with the Dodgers, of all teams, in 1975. Roseboro asked Los Angeles fans to support Marichal; they did, but Marichal, ineffective in two starts, retired. Also retired, by the Giants, was Marichal's number 27. When the Dominican was not named to the Hall of Fame in his first two years of eligibility, Roseboro campaigned for his election, and received a special thanks at Marichal's induction ceremony in 1983.

I have posted about a site that had focused on using photographs to make facsimile baseball cards.

Since I posted the site has removed the cards and focused on nostalgic baseball photographs. Mostly baseball card scans and not photographs in the following thread that I started awhie back.

There are photographs and links about baseball photography at “Steve’s Baseball Photography Pages,” site. Here is a review from MVN. A Baseball Blog Site.
Recommended Viewing

I don’t recommend good baseball web sites as often as I should, so hopefully this will mark the start of a new trend.

One site in particular has caught my attention in recent weeks. It’s “Steve’s Baseball Photography Pages,” which can be found at http://www.geocities.com/dewing19/ .

The site, which is run by a gentleman named Steve Dewing, features rarely seen, and in many cases, never-before-published photographs from the 1950s, sixties, and seventies. For those who enjoy baseball from that era and tire of seeing the same black-and-white photos over and over, Dewing’s site comes as a refreshing change. Constantly updated with newly found images, the site includes some new West Coast material—photos of Willie McCovey with the Padres, Bobby Murcer with the Giants, and Reggie Jackson with the A’s. For those who like action photos, there are some wonderful shots of Johnny Bench and Pete Rose with the Reds circa 1970. There’s an intriguing photograph of Hank Aaron (as a Brewer) chatting with Willie Davis (as a Ranger); making you wonder what they were talking about.

In addition, Dewing features some rarely seen Rangers shots from the seventies, including photos of Texas-sized failures like Rico Carty and Alex Johnson. He also has posted several photographs for Rangers players he’s trying to identify, which may generate interest among fans of the franchise during the Ted Williams, Whitey Herzog, and Billy Martin years. So if you’re looking to spend some time at the internet on a new site, visit Steve’s Baseball Pages, send him an e-mail at [email protected], and soak in some old-fashioned baseball photography.

Bruce Markusen is the author of the forthcoming book, The Team That Changed Baseball: Roberto Clemente and the 1971 Pittsburgh Pirates, which will be released in May by Westholme Publishing. Markusen can be heard periodically on ESPNews’ Hot List with Brian Kenny and every Wednesday morning at 10:00 am on WHAM Radio (1180 AM) in Rochester, New York, discussing the latest issues in baseball.

Below are 3 pictures of Amos Otis. Mr Dewing used a photo to make a 1971 Topps facsimile card, we see the photo, the 1971 Topps facsimile card, and the regular issue 1971 Topps Amos Otis Card. These images which were a large part of the site when I discovered it, are no longer shown.
