MEMPHIS ROGUES TEAM PHOTO, 1979

TOM NEVERS, 1979

Tom Nevers (C) is challenged by Tony Field (R) as Jorge Berrio looks on in this rare photo from a Rogues practice session.  This photo was Taken at Tim McCarver Stadium which was the home of the AA Memphis Chicks baseball team.  The Chicks moved to Jackson, Tennessee many years ago and the stadium was later torn down.  The Rogues used Tim McCarver Stadium, The Liberty Bowl, and Overton Park as practice locations.  The Mid-South Coliseum was used for indoor season practice. There may have been other locations so if anyone has information, please let me know.

ATLANTA CHIEFS POCKET SCHEDULE, 1980

Nope, not changing allegiances.  If you look closely at the front of this schedule, you will see that the pic features the Rogues' Henry McCully (12) and goalie Bill Mishalow.  The action is from the Rogues 2-1 win at Atlanta on August 5, 1979.

JOHN FAULKNER vs ALAN WILLEY, 1979

Rogues defender John Faulkner tangles with Minnesota's Alan Willey yet again, this time in 1979.  Memphis lost this final regular season game at Minnesota 5-2.

BILL MISHALOW, 1979

Bill Mishalow makes a save against the Drillers as Tom Nevers (L), John Faulkner (C), and Edmonton's Alex Schoenmaker (R) look on.  Memphis lost 4-1.  The photo caption incorrectly identifies Mishalow as Gene DuChateau.  It also says this is action from the first "quarter" of the game.
