This was first for me today -- opened a Baseball Reference page to see this photo: Riley Cabral - Baseball Reference I suspect this look will be a permanent record of the era for a lot of people, but you'd think that site would be able to track down an optional pic.

Considering it looks like he stopped playing they are probably in no rush to replace the image. Not for a player who couldn't make it out of FL during his pro career. Documented sign of the times when he played.... ------------------------------- Tired and trembling I am descending, will I have to stay here and live this life again?

Honestly, I'm half surprised none of the companies did a blatant COVID-19 set like this.
