In the early half of the 80s, I was working for the Nashville News. One summer day, Carl Boles walked into the office and asked the editor if the News would give Boles a letter stating that he was our reporter. Boles said it would get him into games (he was living in California). The editor consented as long as Carl would let us interview him. So I wrote the story about Carl's baseball life. He talked a lot about Kansas City Monarchs and the control of the Japanese pitcher's. He never brought up his "doppelganger' photo. I took one of the best photos in my short newspaper career of Carl. Sure wish I would have kept a copy. Carl asked for another letter from the News-Leader before he died.
