(maura, check your email)

I'm going to post a bunch of photos here--sized them down, but there are 17, so they'll take up some space.

I digitized some slides that my dad took at the Astros training camp in '72. These are slides that I salvaged when my dad decided to put 10 years' worth of slides onto a VHS tape sometime in the '90s, a tape that has been misplaced for the moment. I found the slides a few weeks ago when I was looking for something else.

I can identify about half the players. Tried to look at old baseball cards online to figure out the rest, but I can't.

Cool pics.
(There's a limit of 10 images per post.)

Thanks--I've never posted that many.

embarrassed for your shirt, but that's *awesome*

i went to pirates camp in bradenton in '77 (when i was five) and got autographs from manny sanguillen and bill robinson and my cousin dave and when willie stargell signed my program he said 'now what do you say?' and a thousand years later i blurted out 'thank you?'

"Cousin Dave"? Your cousin is Dave Parker?

My dad undoubtedly had to talk me into every one of these, for which I'm very grateful.

all men are my cousins, but particularly those that share my surname

oh yeah i can't even imagine how i was persuaded to go down to the railing at all -- and they were all so super-nice about it. it's tough for modern ballplayers because there are so many demands but you never know which is going to make a kid love/hate you for 40 years

By the way, I had planned to wear the exact same style shirt on the first day of school next week, but now you've hurt my feelings.

guaranteed that whatever i was wearing in bradenton was worse

you'll be okay, teach

Don't know how I missed this: #14 isn't Rader, it's Harry the Hat (big news for a Ball Four worshipper).

wow Fred Gladding

I'm in a Ball Four Facebook group--someone identified #11 as the 21-year-old Mike Easler (drafted by the Astros in '69, didn't make his major-league debut until '73).

In light of me browsing my long-dormant flickr account:
