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.

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

it is after '58

This is better than I thought.

Am I giving too many hints, Al?

by flachimesa on Jan 9, 2009 4:03 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

Too late.

(That’s a hint.)

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.

Arnold C Earley

But I wouldn’t call him an ACE

by Clutche on Jan 9, 2009 5:11 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

His initials are A.C.E.

It's more walk-off magic for the Cubs, when a bases-leaded walk to Jake Fox gives them the 2-1, extra-innings win.

It's yet another episode of "Outfield Adventures", starring Milton Bradley, as he'd lose this Jason Kendall-hit ball in the sun Friday against the Brewers.

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?
