You can clearly see him in that glorious Athletics uniform in the photo, though he is properly tagged as a Philadelphia Phillies player.
The thing is, Stone LAST played for the Athletics in June of 1966!
He was returned the Baltimore Orioles, the team from which the Athletics drafted him in November of 195, on July 1st, 1966!
Amazing.
As a matter of fact, Stone played over half a season in 1969 with the Phillies, yet if I recall correctly, the didn’t take new photos because of a licensing dispute with the Players’ Union. Something like that. Hence all the blotted out logos and outdated photos rampant throughout the 1969 and 1970 sets.
Anyone have any further info on this?
