Can anyone determine the player on the left? His glove is on his right hand, so he must throw left. If it is a pitcher it would have to be one of the following lefties who pitched on the A's in 1986: Curt Young, Dave Leiper, Bill Krueger, Dave Von Ohlen, or Tim Birstas. If it's an infielder (maybe the pitcher is on his way to the dugout) then it could be Bruce Bochte, Rob Nelson, or Wayne Gross.

Looks like Von Ohlen, but I can't tell if that's #57 on his back ------------------------------- * Ed * L8 * Cards in my personal Collection are unavailable *

The jersey name looks like it ends in "en" as well.

OK, so should we tag Mr. Von Ohlen on that card? I'm convinced. SJ

I've got another one for you. 1987 Orioles Leaders #506. Tall, caucasian pitcher with uniform number ending in 3 or 8 on the left. Two candidates: Rich Bordi, #53, Height 6 feet, 7 inches, Mike Kinnunen, #48, Height 6 feet, 1 inch. SJ

No, only tag players when you can identify with 100% certainty. Stevie Jay wrote: OK, so should we tag Mr. Von Ohlen on that card? I'm convinced. SJ ------------------------------- *Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.*
