DATE SHOT: Spring 1985 SUBJECT: Brett Butler APPROXIMATE SIZE: 35mm in standard slide mount MARKS / STAMPING: Mount is pre-printed with team name, player identification and position. TYPE CLASSIFICATION: Original Promo Slide COMMENTS / CONDITION: This is positive film that can be viewed with a backlight source without having to invert the image. As with original negatives, it can be used to produce high-quality photographic prints (no print is included with this item though). This is one of a large number of sports promo slides that I will be listing in the coming weeks. Wear on these, if any, is mostly confined to the mount's edges, but see scans for further details including film condition. We do not deal in stock images or modern reprints, and all scans shown are of the actual vintage photograph, slide or negative being sold. If you have any questions about a particular piece, please ask before the auction ends. Brett Morgan Butler was born in 1957 in Los Angeles, CA and went to college at Southeastern Oklahoma State University. He played major league baseball from 1981 to 1997 as outfielder for the Atlanta Braves, Cleveland Indians, San Francisco Giants, Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Mets, appeared in the 1989 World Series, and was selected in 1991 as an All-Star. Following his playing days, Butler was the Dodgers' Minor League outfield instructor in 2002, and the Mets' Minor league bunting, baserunning, and leadoff instructor in 2003. He managed the 2004 GCL Mets and was an Arizona Diamondbacks coach in 2005. He was manager of the Mobile BayBears in 2007 when he suffered a stroke on July 26 and was replaced by his former teammate with the Giants, Matt Williams, for the remainder of the season. Butler served as Arizona's Minor League outfield and base running coordinator in 2008 and was named manager of the Reno Aces in 2009. Explanation of Type Classifications: Type 1 = A 1st generation photograph, developed from the original negative, during the period (within two years of when the shot was taken). Type 2 = A 1st generation photograph, developed from the original negative, during a later period (more than two years after the shot was taken). Type 3 = A 2nd generation photograph, developed from a duplicate negative or wire transmission, during the period. Type 4 = A 2nd generation photograph (or 3rd or later generation), developed from a duplicate negative or wire transmission, during a later period. Original = A 1st generation photograph, developed from the original negative, which appears to be of the period but for which a print date cannot be determined for definitive Type classification. Essentially, a photo we feel is a Type 1, but which lacks certain elements necessary for definitive dating of the print.
