Braxton wore #50 while with the Indians during spring training 1970 and the mystery player wore #51. If anyone has a 1970 Indians spring training roster or program I'm sure we can figure out exactly who it is.
The 1970 Street & Smiths says #51 belonged to Robert Kaiser, a pitcher who was left-handed (switch hitter, though). He pitched 5 games for Cleveland in 1971.
