Ralph Betcher 1976, Al Cohen 1976, Elmer Guckert 1976, Joe Schratz 1976
Thumbing through the 1977 Pirates yearbook and low and behold what's in their "year in review" but a beautiful print of the wire service photo depicting four strikebreakers who worked the Bucs-Cubs game of May 21, 1976.
Using ID's here and the box score which of course nails the home plate ump wearing the protector, they are, left to right, Ralph Betcher, Elmer Guckert, Cubs' Manager Jim Marshall, Pirates' captain Willie Stargell, Al Cohen, and Joe Schratz.
Schratz came back to work 16 games as an NL replacement during the 1976 strike, for the others they were one-game guys. All were from greater Pittsburgh.
