Tony Solaita 1968
The Samoan-born minor league slugger, promoted to New York in 1968 after 51 homers in A-ball and thrown right only a home run hitting contest at Yankee Stadium against Mantle and Yastrzemski.
He got exactly one at bat with his first club and didn't resurface until 1974 in Kansas City. These two images are probably from spring training 1971.
