The article above got me thinking, I ran across this message board/website and from what I can garner from it, is the objective is to get a picture of every person whoever played MLB, however briefly it was. There are tons of interesting pics up on this board.
Perhaps one of Mr. Pender’s “missing 6” are on this site?

A lot of my stuff that was left in the attic or bedroom closet when I went into the Army was gone when I got home. My younger brothers swore no knowledge of where it went. I still suspect clandestine sales and trades. 😉Nellie had more doubles than strikeouts every year from 1950 to 1963, and more triples (12) than strikeouts (11) in 1951 (682 plate appearances.)

Good for him. There's no way I could replicate his feat, in part because there are certain ex-players I never want to have to see or hear about again."Hope...may be indulged in by those who have abundant resources...but those who stake their all upon the venture see it in its true colors only after they are ruined."
