Tom Phoebus?
The author of this post is not a certified scout, doctor, agent, statistician, manager, or journalist, nor was he ever a very good player, though he tried very hard to be like Ryne Sandberg and was about as scrappy as it gets (in T-ball). Any opinion expressed above should in no way be confused with fact, truth, or reality and is hereby qualified in the following ways: 1) The author does not know as much about baseball as Lou Piniella. 2) The author does not know as much about baseball as Jim Hendry. 3) The author does not know as much about baseball as either Dusty or Darren Baker.
looks like a middle infielder
Piniella: "This is a tougher job than I thought it would be, I'm going to be honest with you."

But it’s not him.

Vic LaRose?
If you had to choose just one characteristic that would get you through life, choose a sense of humor.
DINGDINGDING!!!
We have a winner.
Give me a few minutes to upload them and I’ll post some more pix of LaRose that were sent to me by BCB reader flachimesa.

How did you guess this answer
Clutche,
What is the secret of finding this guy? Obscure!
Cub Fan Mike
Favorite Game - 'The Sandberg game" June 23, 1984
Identified the years the jersey was worn and I knew he was an infielder
If you had to choose just one characteristic that would get you through life, choose a sense of humor.
and he guesses Vic LaRose on every "Name That Cub"
j/k
He guessed LaRose on the Billy Connors photo.
Good job, Clutche!
"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."
What can I say......I thought Connors was La Rose with a tan

Who has the better tan?
LaRose
Connors

Who has the worst haircut?

Here's Vic LaRose...
… playing for the Tacoma Cubs in 1966 and 1967. Goes to show you how cheap the Cubs were in those days — just took old Cubs road uniforms and slapped “TACOMA” on them.
LaRose played in 4 games at the end of the 1968 season.

he clearly looked unhappy at Tacoma.
no cable TV at that time?
that was when the Dick van Dyke show was first run, not reruns.

About as obscure as you can get....
4 games, 2 AB for his ML career, plus….
Sent from the California Angels to the Chicago Cubs in an unknown transaction
Being acquired in an “unknown transaction” is as obscure as it gets….haha
Nobody cares about your fantasy baseball team
"unknown transaction"
Never heard of that before. Does that mean the Cubs stole him like a College Mascott in the middle of the night?

It's sort of like...
…an undisclosed location, I think.

Hello, I'm a visiting Brewers fan and figured I would ask before trying.
But would it be OK with you, the Cubs community, if I were to try and guess on these “Name That Cub” games?
Eric Gagne DL time: May 23-June 29 Brewers record in that span: 20-9
It may turn you into a Cubs fan
I find myself reading more than usual about some of the more obscure 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."
Sure, you're welcome to join in!
Glad to have you here.
