Trading Post Trivia

[TURBO]

Picked this poster up a while back, thought we could have some fun.

 

Name the guys on the poster: (some are obvious, some not so much)

My guess:

 

Right to left front row:George Scott, Eduardo Rodriguez, Robin Yount, Hank Aaron, Jim Slaton

Left to Right 2nd row: Mike Hegan, Harvey Kuenn, umpire?, Bob Uecker(on ground)

 

It's hard to tell if that is an umpire or a catcher with the face mask on his head, but I would assume an ump since he has a finger in his face.

My guess is the guy pointing would have to be the manager. I am trying not to cheat here.... but I think the manager is '75 was Del Crandall?

[TURBO]

here is my shot:

 

front row left to right:

 

Don Money, Hank Aaron, Robin Yount, Eduardo Rodriguez, George Scott (not sure who the announcer is laying on the ground between Rodriguez and Scott, but I'm quite sure it isn't Uecker...)

 

back row left to right:

 

Mike Hegan, Manager Del Crandall, not sure of the guy between Del and the umpire, Ump, and that is Mickey Mantle between the ump and George Scott.

 

The artist included Mantle for no real reason, just wanted to include an icon in the painting... (at least, that is how I remember the story, but I was a kid when I first hung this on my wall, so I could be wrong)

 

I have a 1977 version too, I'll post that one when we have more people take shots at this one.

 

I got these from a guy on ebay a few months ago, I just framed them myself, and they are awesome! I posted his email address here a while back, he sold both posters for $15.00 shipped and had several sets left at the time. I know a couple other posters here contacted him and got a set for themselves as well.

 

Here is his email address: iwasjoe@tds.net His name is Joe.

 

If you were a fan back then, these posters make great conversation pieces...

It says that Crandall was the manager, however, Kuenn managed one game.

Could the announcer have been Merle Harmon? Not sure on his years here.
