I have some old photos I took at Wrigley Field many years ago.

I thought I'd post a photo and see who can identify the player(s) in the photo.

Enjoy!

Just a guess, but isn't that Willie Hernandez?

Hard to really tell, but is it Fergie?

Ray Kinsella: Are you Moonlight Graham?
Dr. Archibald "Moonlight" Graham: No one's called me Moonlight Graham in fifty years.
Dr. Archibald "Moonlight" Graham: Well, you know I... I never got to bat in the major leagues. I would have liked to have had that chance. Just once. To stare down a big league pitcher. To stare him down, and just as he goes into his windup, wink. Make him think you know something he doesn't. That's what I wish for. Chance to squint at a sky so blue that it hurts your eyes just to look at it. To feel the tingling in your arm as you connect with the ball. To run the bases -- stretch a double into a triple, and flop face-first into third, wrap your arms around the bag. That's my wish, Ray Kinsella. That's my wish. And is there enough magic out there in the moonlight to make this dream come true?

That one is hard, I can't see his face. I take it you were a big fan since the 70's? I will take a wild guess and say Mike Vail since it looks like it could be a right fielder.

I'll post another one while you all try to figure out who that outfielder is.

Everyone, feel free to reply and take a guess!

Another guess at the outfielder. Could that be Larry Biittner? Why did it show #### when I answered #### Tidrow for the pitcher? I know I didn't type that.

I'm guessing that the bb has been set to exclude certain words from being posted, including Richard's name.

I don't think that is Larry Biittner in the outfielder photo. Keep guessing!

BTW, I was at the game where Larry lost the ball in his cap.

BTW, you are correct, the pitcher is Mr. Tidrow.

Name that Cub!

For extra points, what is this batter doing nowadays?

Thanks for the info I will be sure to call him Richard from now on! I'm not sure on the extra credit, I can't tell who that is. I hope someone else gets the outfielder because I am stumped and it will be driving me nuts all day.

Time to post another photo while y'all try to figure out who the mystery outfielder and batter are...

This one is an easy one. I imagine that at least 5 people will reply with the correct answer to this one.

Name that Cub!

To all: if you attended a lot of games in the late 70's, early 80's, check the crowd in these photos to see if you appear in any of them.

Let me know if you see yourself in any of these photos. Stranger things have happened ya'know.
