And since it's most likely a Spring Training shot, it may not have been the person who actually wore the number. Incidentally, two people wore that number in 1972: Phil Regan and Dan Neumeier.

But my roster book shows him wearing #6 during the '73 season. Maybe he had this number during spring training and switched to 6 when he made the club? According to the book, #38 went unissued in 1973.Rumpleforeskinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17500282546759417737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1986621680116407176.post-39717417934912355192011-09-29T02:49:59.644-04:002011-09-29T02:49:59.644-04:00Great card.
