PrintHere's a little different twist on the Name That Cub idea.
The Little Leaguer in the second row, second from the right (of the four players pictured, not including the coaches in that row) is someone who would wear a Cub uniform many years after this photo was taken.
But who is it? Thanks to BCB reader bison for the photo.
Another $10 gift card from Distant Replays to the first to identify this future Cub.

Okay, just so I understand it... in your wildest fantasy, you are in hell. And you are co-running a bed and breakfast with the devil.
No right answer, yet.

Dusty Baker, I know that smile! LOL
If you look close the kid is chewing on a toothpick

Nice work. I’ll get you your gift card.

In other news from googling bridgeport and the cubs
Adam Greenberg is playing for the Bridgeport Bluefish of the Atlantic league this year
Good for him.
Glad to see he’s still playing.

Greenberg
I saw him playing at Dickey-Stephens in North Little Rock for the Travelers last season.

I don't know who it is...
…but those are some sweet uniforms!
Nobody cares about your fantasy baseball team
Andre Rodgers
Andre Rodgers from the Bahamas.
See answer above.
It’s Dusty Baker.

Haha,
I tend to talk myself out of a lot of prizes, I was sure it was Dusty, but then I remembered seeing a giant Cubs poster in Nassau when I got married in the Bahamas and just threw that name up there.
but not for lack of using the "reply" button

Strange
Didn’t recognize him without a toothpick or sunglasses.

Wow, I'm an idiot.
I skimmed the description and was looking at the wrong kid the whole time.
Happy PCR Day, everyone!
What's a Brass Rocket?
If you had to choose just one characteristic that would get you through life, choose a sense of humor.
I believe Bridgeport Brass is a company
They may have sponsored the team.
The “R” on their caps may represent Rockets or Riverside.
"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."
Probably Riverside, where Dusty grew up.

I'd have guessed it stood for Rockets...
as I’d think that all of the teams in that league were from Riverside.
According to...
… this, in 1960 — which is probably about when that photo was taken, Dusty would have been 11 in 1960 — Bridgeport Brass was a Fortune 500 company.

by any chance
couldnt dusty have played against Bobby Bonds? both played little league in Riverside and were only a few years apart.
