One goal of this blog is to create "pre-rookie" cards of Red Sox players before the resuscitated Bowman brand came along and gave a "major league" card to every Greenville or Salem player with half a pulse.
Here's Fred Lynn with the Pawtucket Red Sox in 1974. I Gimp-ed a Boston "B" over the original "P" on his cap. Here's the original image, from the Paw Sox' 25th anniversary set:
I had no idea the Paw Sox used a generic "P" in the early days until I saw this pic.
Lynn was called up to the Red Sox late in the '74 season and, of course, turned into Jesus in Spikes in '75.
