Hello. I need some help identifying the two people on this card other than Yogi Berra and Gene Tenace. I'm thinking the guy on the far left is the manager, Hal Lanier, but I am uncertain. I'd appreciate any help. Thank you!

Here is the baseball reference page with the coaching staff listed at the bottom.
https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/HOU/1986-roster.shtml
Based on age I would guess the guy behind Yogi is Les Moss ( he and Yogi were born 2 days apart - how funny).
Based on height I would agree that is Hal Lanier on the left. Hal is listed at 6' 2", Yogi at 5' 7".

I think it is Denis Menke behind Yogi. The letters you can see on the back look a lot closer to ME for Menke than MO for Moss.
I also believe that is Hal Lanier on the left. His uniform number was 22 and you can tell there is a 2 on his back.

Hair style of the guy behind Yogi looks like Joe Niekro.

Joe Niekro was traded from the Astros to the Yankees in September 1985. Berra and Tenace did not join the coaching staff until 1986.

It looks like Menke to me.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them. |

Thank you all! I picked up this card on eBay several years back. I got Gene Tenace a few years ago, and Hal Lanier is signing at a local show next month. Now I know in fact who the guys are! Thaks again.

I have updated the name links on this card (as well as the Tiffany version and the buybacks we have listed).
