Now THERE is an obscure Cub.
Pitched 26 games over three seasons from 1956-58.
But no, it’s not him.

Don't have a guess

He's an ACE

Hey, Arnold, do you need another clue?

There's a clue in this part of the thread.

I'm going to negatory Ken
…I think this guy’s carrying to much face fat, but, I mean, we’re looking at people from 20 years before I was born.

OK
I know there are better baseball minds here than my own, but with the hat logo alone, this has to be after 1958 right? If I remember correctly the C changed to that style in 57, but they had white piping on the seams.
Someone tell me if I am way off base.

you're off by 5-10 years

This assumes I know who this is
which I’m pretty confident I do

Off on the player??
Which means I’m 5-10 too early, because I think I got the logo stuff right.

it is after '58

This is better than I thought.
No one’s got it yet.

Am I giving too many hints, Al?

Apparently not, since no one has it yet.

Well, if flachimesa's hints are right, my guess certainly isn't
But I just felt like guessing him, anyway.

John Goetz
…and I have to leave work now so I’m done.

Correct!!!!
Arnold pitched 13 games for the 1966 Cubs after being acquired by the Braves. Pitched most of his career with the Red Sox. We traded him the following season for Marv Breeding, who hadn’t played in the majors since 1963 and never played for the Cubs.
He wore #47 for the Cubs.

His initials are A.C.E.
