Hi, I'm Bob Stanley and I'm about to make 50,000 people very happy
Now that everyone has breathed a sigh of relief that Santana feels ok and Mike Francesca has begged David Wright for forgiveness, all seems right with the world again. So, before any major news hits, I figure it’s a good time to stroll down memory lane and look through some pictures. I actually have a few gems with Doc & Darryl from the 80s’ I can’t find, but I did find a bunch of goodies for your viewing pleasure. They are all photos from Game 6 in 1986 through today at Shea.

Great picks Nik
Thanks… I have a lot more somewhere, but these were the ones I had around :)
Those are great pictures, but I think the one above is actually Al Nipper, not Bob Stanley. Stanley didn’t have a stache.
It could be, although Nipper was in the rotation (I think) and this was taken in the pen late in the game. I guess they could have stuck him out there…
Stanley has had a ‘stache at some point, although I’m not positive about 86.
Let’s compare….
This is the only photo of Stanley I could find with a ‘stashe. I couldn’t find a photo of his face on the mound during this game.

Nipper does also look like the guy in the photo and he did for sure have a mustashe during 86′
