Walker: Too Recent, Played Too Much

I think any Cub who has played at least 100 games with the team since 1984 will be easy to identify. I didn’t get Oscar Gamble because he played for the Cubs in 1969 and looked a lot different in his Yankee days in the early 1980’s.

Ooops...That he's

not a pitcher? That was about the only thing that I could think of. And probably he’s a righty (even though I did guess a lefty), judging by the shoulder he’s resting the bat on.
