Whoa -- great picture, thanks. Any idea when that was taken? Obviously no earlier than 1958.

I am thinking its Mangione who is more stoned since Doc's glove is on the wrong hand.

I didn't know Ellis played for the Yankees.  I only remember him with the Pirates.

I've told this story here before:   at a Jimmy Smith club date I told my wife Sonny Rollins was sitting near us.  Then Jimmy introduced Don Newcombe.

He played for the Yankees in '76 and for a handful of games in '77.

He also played for a few other teams but will always be a Pirate in our mind.
