[Baseball cards]


Note: All of the players would probably want No. 7. That wish is granted since all images are frontal views.


C Biff Adam — A solid block of granite behind the plate.

1B Lew Talley — Tall and rangy, able to scoop up short tosses.

2B Merle Haggard — Makes smooth pivot to start double plays.

3B Bill Woods — Infield leader with Hot Corner skills.

SS Jelly Sanders — Can go to the hole with ease.

LF Buck Owens — Dependable flycatcher patrolling his space.

CF Mayf Nutter — Fluid ball tracker with great speed.

RF Don Rich — His strong arm a threat to base runners.


Pitchers, and their “out” pitch:


Tom Brumley, sinker

Red Simpson, screwball

Billy Mize, fastball

Jerry Wiggins, knuckler


Utility Roy Nichols — Scrappy fill-in master.

Bullpen catcher — Doyle Holly  — Keeps pitchers, and everyone else, loose.


Manager — Jimmie Thomason — Has herd (band) organizing skills

Coach — Oscar Whittington — Sound judgement in game situations.

Coach —  Norm Hamlett —  Tuned to a soft approach.
