Ouch! I feel like a dinosaur now.
Actually, ALL the photos in that video were taken by Mike Haines at the Reds tournaments in Houston, TX in 1983 and 1984. The photos were "lifted" from our Smugmug galleries without our permission. Other than that, it's a nice video.asbani said:

Here's some help: go to our Smugmug site (billporter.smugmug.com) and the photos will have captions identifying the players.Fragged said:
Hi Bill,i actually put this together,im sorry i didnt ask for permission for the photos,i will remove the video if you like,i put it together the other day when i saw your video and wanted to add some Doors music but figured putting together a new one instead of using the old one would be better.I posted it up and meant to send you a PM to check it out and if you didnt like it i would remove it,it was more of a tribute to your work,i posted that it was from you and also a link to your site and gave credit where do.Again i apologize.BillPorter said:Actually, ALL the photos in that video were taken by Mike Haines at the Reds tournaments in Houston, TX in 1983 and 1984.

The one with Butera, Puckett, and Johnny Roberts nearly had me in tears. Johnny was a dear friend of mine from Lubbock Texas. He is gone now and dearly missed.
The one of Red, Ronnie, and Eddie is impressive too. What A trio to draw to. I'll take that trio against any other and you cann pick from the field.
Just to be clear, I did not ask for the video to be deleted. I was mainly concerned that Mike Haines get photo credit as he took ALL the photos that were used in the video. I just sent a PM to Fast Lenny saying that at this point I didn't see any need to delete the video. Heck, I kind of liked it. I did ask Fast Lenny to send Mike an email to apologize to him.Fast Lenny said:
You know, I haven't been able to identify the third man in that photo - not until I saw your post. I just changed the caption on the photo, which changes its position in the gallery as the photos are arranged alphabetically by caption. Check and make sure I have it right.

At least now your friend is properly identified in that gallery.
