tnfoto baseball photos website

[tnfoto]

Three years ago I joined this forum upon recommendation from some of my friends in SABR. Over the past three years I have thoroughly enjoyed the camaraderie within our group, and have made many new friends here. Today in celebration of my third “anniversary,” I am introducing a new website where I will track my photo projects in more detail than I can on the OOTP forums. You can find links in my updated signature line.

For those of you who may not know it already I am not a sim player, but a baseball researcher. My primary focus for the past five or six years has been pictorial history, with the objective being to positively identify each Major League player, manager, coach and umpire. Now I’m beginning to work on minor league players as well.

My website will focus on the progress I’m making toward my goals, and will also allow me to organize projects such as team packs in a more orderly way than is possible in a thread of chronological posts. On my site you will find separate pages for the facepack, team packs and other photo projects. Starting with the next facepack release (tentatively scheduled around the start of spring training), rather than link to my FileFront directory, I will be posting a link to this facepack page, from which you will be able to download the latest version of the facepack and the updated missing player list. If there is enough interest, I may also maintain a live missing player list on the site.

In addition to baseball photos, I (along with fellow SABR member Bruce Brown) have run a daily baseball trivia email service for the past 15 years. You can find separate pages for baseball trivia and custom theme teams, with subscription links for anyone interested.

For those who are willing and able, I have included a PayPal donation link on each page. If I have helped fill holes in your collection, helped you with a project, or if you have enjoyed the facepack updates and enhancement, please consider making a donation. Donations will help me to continue to enhance the facepack, fill custom requests, and find and share photos with the group. I appreciate any contributions.

My thanks to everyone here for making the past three years such an enjoyable experience. I look forward to many more!

Well done and thank you again. I am looking forward to following the minor league project that you are embarking on.

I like the trivia and just subscribed. (Meant to earlier)

I have just finished uploading the spring training 2012 release of the facepack, with over 600 new photos and more than 1,000 additional updates. Please visit the facepack page on my website for complete details and download links.

Along with the facepack release, Pegasus27 has agreed to allow me to provide a near-real-time version of the Uniforms I Need (UIN) list on my website. You can find the latest version of the UIN list on the Pegasus27 UIN List page. I will update the list whenever I see a new UIN post on the forum.

Note that I am also posting this notice to the Gambo-and-T_Wil1 thread. In the future I will continue to post facepack updates to the Gambo-and-T_Wil1 thread, but will make all other website update announcements in this thread.

The next website update I have planned is a listing of source websites I use when hunting for photos. Look for an update announcement later this week!

I have created a new page on my site that lists various baseball photo sources. I will update this list regularly.

You can view the list here.

Along with the latest facepack release (including the first of the 2012 debuts), I am now offering my Major League and minor league image databases for those who would like to track and organize their photo collection. Right now I only offer Microsoft Access versions of the databases, but feel free to ask if you would like a different version.

You can view more information about the databases, as well as some sample screenshots at my new tnfoto Photo Database page.
