Who is this? Bo Belinsky?

I recently came across this old picture of a ballplayer with a Cardinals uniform and jacket on. Someone had written on the bottom of the photo that it was Bo Belinsky. But, in checking Baseball Reference, I found that Belinsky never played for the Cardinals. Who is it?

Always looking for Mantle cards such as Stahl Meyer, 1954 Dan Dee, 1959 Bazooka, 1960 Post, 1952 Star Cal Decal, 1952 Tip Top Bread Labels, 1953-54 Briggs Meat, and other Topps, Bowman, and oddball Mantles.

  • It's Belinsky. Cardinals acquired him from Houston in the rule 5 draft in December of 1968. His contract was then sold to the Angels in April of 1969. He only appeared in a few spring training games with the Cards.

    Edit to add: His contract was purchased from the Angels by the Pirates July 30th 1969.

    He made it onto a Cardinals card too.
