Who is the player (other than Munson) on the card? Someone at Hardball Times asked. Thanks.

    Looks like Kekich to me, but I've never seen him with a porn stache

    Didn't he and Petersen grow them together after their wife swap story went public?

    I'll bet a very high resolution scan where his face takes up the whole screen would help

    There is a great song on the Baseball Project series called "The Ballad of Mike Kekich and Fritz Peterson" available on YepRoc Records.

  • bkingbking Posts: 3,095 ✭✭
    Yeah, I'm voting Fritz now too.

    Check out Fritz Peterson's 72 In Action #574 photo. Looks to be from the same game. Same stadium, same long-sleeved shirt under the jersey, and the jersey is unbuttoned at the top.
    Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all "right-thinking" people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

    This is known as “bad luck.”

    thats Fritz Peterson
    In the USA all men are created equal but some are more equal than others....

    Much better scan. Definitely Fritz.
  • Nathaniel1960Nathaniel1960 Posts: 2,325 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Why are we assuming it is a pitcher? Just because he is standing on the mound? Is he wearing a glove? Was Fritz a RH or LH? Could it be a coach? Why are they called grape nuts if there are no grapes and no nuts in them? And what's the deal with airline food.
    Kiss me once, shame on you.
    Kiss me twice.....let's party.

    Fritz was/is left handed and IIRC it is him.


    Good for you.

    Cool card due to the Munson factor, but that may be one of the most
    boring, non-action "In Action" cards I've ever seen. image

    I believe it's Jim Turner the Yankees pitching coach.
