The "official" Brace Family catalogue, which I think when printed in two column 8-point font ran to 40 or 50 pages, insists this doesn't exist.
(Adding: I forgot George got Herbel with the Padres, same season, basically in the same spot)

It's a Greg Tucker. All of these shots from 1970-73 next to the third base dugout at Yankee Stadium were done by him. He sold them in ads in The Trader Speaks, and many wound up in the 1975 SSPC 42-card set and even a few in the 1976 SSPC 630-card set.

And Brace got him in each uni.

Thanks for all of these great finds!
As you mentioned in the first post of this fantastic (and, hopefully, continuing) series, over the years we have exercised caution with large-scale postings from the Brace collection, especially while the family was in a legal battle with the original purchase of the library. With that delicate situation now in the past, I am comfortable with sharing Burke/Brace images that are of interest to the community.
