Mickey Mantle wannabe
Erm, well if we are going to call Milton Bradley nicknames, mine is Fischer Price: yes, you heard it here first..
Just a guess
Mel Wright?

None of the above.

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?
It's too early for hints
"Every team will win 60 games, every team will lose 60 games, it's what the team does in the other 42 games that decides the season."
He's an ACE
"Every team will win 60 games, every team will lose 60 games, it's what the team does in the other 42 games that decides the season."
Hey, Arnold, do you need another clue?
"Every team will win 60 games, every team will lose 60 games, it's what the team does in the other 42 games that decides the season."
He pitched one year for the Cubs
"Every team will win 60 games, every team will lose 60 games, it's what the team does in the other 42 games that decides the season."
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
"Every team will win 60 games, every team will lose 60 games, it's what the team does in the other 42 games that decides the season."
This assumes I know who this is
which I’m pretty confident I do
"Every team will win 60 games, every team will lose 60 games, it's what the team does in the other 42 games that decides the season."
it is after '58
"Every team will win 60 games, every team will lose 60 games, it's what the team does in the other 42 games that decides the season."
This is better than I thought.
No one’s got it yet.

Am I giving too many hints, Al?
"Every team will win 60 games, every team will lose 60 games, it's what the team does in the other 42 games that decides the season."
Apparently not, since no one has it yet.

Johnny Klippstein?

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

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.
Nobody cares about your fantasy baseball team

His initials are A.C.E.
