Johnny Briggs?

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

but doesn’t he kind of look like Tom Brady?

Looks a lot like Selma

…funky nose shape.

Oh man, can we have a hint?

It's too early for hints

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.

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.

by jbertram on Jan 9, 2009 3:19 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

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.

Too late.

President Ronald Reagan throws out the ceremonial first pitch Sept. 30, 1988, at Wrigley Field before the Chicago Cubs played host to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Reagan later went to the broadcast booth and helped announce the first part of the game.

7/3:Cubs vs Brewers

Jeff Suppan is thrown out by Kosuke Fukudome in the seventh inning of the Cubs 2-1 win.

Or as Kenny Powers would put it, "You're %@$@#!! out!!"

Buster Olney said a few days ago that the Braves would entertain offers for their 26 year old shortstop (who makes 450k) Yunel Escobar. He is a plus bat, a solid defender, and would move Theriot to his more appropriate position at second.

They are looking for a bat in return. Apparently Cox doesn't like the guy.

I couldn't even speculate what we'd have to send them in return, but I think he would be a good fit given his low salary, his productive bat, his position, and his age. I don't care if he's a jerk if he makes the team win more.

What would it take?
