Description: DATE SHOT: 1949-50 SUBJECT: Del Rice APPROXIMATE SIZE: 4"x8-1/4" TYPE CLASSIFICATION: Type 3 COMMENTS / CONDITION: See scans for further details including condition. Delbert Rice was born in Portsmouth, OH and died in 1983 in Buena Park, CA. He played major league baseball from 1945 to 1961 as catcher for the St. Louis Cardinals, Milwaukee Braves, Chicago Cubs, Baltimore Orioles and the Los Angeles Angels, appeared in the 1946 and 1957 World Series, and was selected in 1953 as an All-Star. Rice also had a brief career in the National Basketball League, playing 11 games for the Rochester Royals during the 1945-1946 season. Rice was a longtime member of the Angels' organization. As a veteran free agent, Rice was the first player ever to sign with the Los Angeles Angels[2]. After he played in their maiden '61 campaign, he was the first-base coach for the club (1962-66). He spent the 1967 season as a coach for the Cleveland Indians, but then returned to the Angels as a minor league manager and had success at the AAA level. He was named Minor League Manager of the Year for 1971 by The Sporting News after leading the Salt Lake City Bees to a divisional title in the Pacific Coast League. He was rewarded with a promotion to skipper of the 1972 Angels, but after one season and a 75-80 (.484) fifth-place finish, he was replaced by Bobby Winkles. He remained with the club, however, as a scout. 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.
