Hmm... strange.

See if this works.

Bingo.

So Danny Jackson is a lefty, and that card clearly shows a righty..... we can reasonably assume that it's not Danny Jackson.

Which begs the question. Who the hell is the guy on the card?

Oh hell. I'll be up all night now.

I looked it up. It was an error card. I never would have guessed it, but the name was familiar after I saw it. I never would have got "close" guessing who it was. That's a hint there

Steve Farr?

DING DING DING DING DING. We have a WINNAH

Are you sure? Farr usually had a stache and longer hair.

I think it's Frank Wills

That's what the baseball card error site said. Could be another error though

Willis wore 19. That looks like a "6" as the second number which fits with Steve Farr's 26.

At any rate, it's not Amos Otis.

ETA: If it is Willis, it's even funnier because he was a Mariner that year. He played for the Royals in '84, though, so it's still possible I guess.

You've got better eyes than I do, because I can't make out any numbers.

Wills was kind of a shot in the dark -- he got traded to the M's in January 85.

Just doesn't look like Farr to me.

Couldn't be Farr, because he had a stache.

Wills is the one I was thinking.

Well the photo could have been taken in '84, as typically most card companies use prior year photos on their cards at the time, I imagine.

It looks like a 9 to me, since the 6 and the 9 section can match, just could not tell the exact number because of his left arm is in the way/blocking the view.

There's a better quality photo of the card in question.

It looks like it could be Jim Sunberg looking at his cards from that year
