Who is this Handsome Brave Man?
I spent a bit of time looking for a 1953-1962 Brave (the tomahawk was removed from the uni in 1963) wearing a number in the 40s, with movie-star looks. Frankly, Milwaukee had some U-G-L-Y players back then. It clearly isn't Mathews (#41), Pafko (#48) or Joey "Eyebrows" Jay (#47), the three who put the most time during this period wearing an appropriate number (and not being racially disqualified, as #44 was).
I think this might be a 20-year-old Len Gabrielson during his September 1960 call-up (wearing what had been Mike Krsnich's #42). In later pics, Len looks more ruggedly handsome than this pretty boy does, but that's to be expected with age. The ears, eyebrows and overall face shape tend to match fairly well, IMO. Len's nose seems bigger, though…but maybe that's just the angle of the photograph minimizing the schnozz here? I really don't know. My other theory would be that it's someone with a number that starts with "1" rather than "4", but that's a lot of work and I don't think the top part of the "1" comes down quite as far as the first numeral here does, so I'm hesitant to start up what could be a blind alley. So I thought I'd ask the sharper-eyes-than-mine here…who IS this guy? |

Pete Runnels 1951 - Houston Colt .45s uniform (home uniform)
From spring training (don't know if it's '63 or '64), here's Runnels with a firearm on his finery.
And good eyes, keonleafs! That was in fact a young Daniel J. Staub in the background of the first Runnels pic. Not surprising that Rusty was in shape; he was 19 at the time. |

Chico Ruiz 1964 - 1970 California Angels uniform
Chico spent most of his career with the Reds, of course, but was an Angel when he tragically died in 1971. The '71 team had lowercase lettering on the uniforms, so we can tell that this picture is from 1970.
This is an interesting pic of Chico, in that he's wearing #3 rather than #15, which he wore throughout his Reds career. (Apparently, Cinci had a system; catchers wore single-digit numbers, infielders 10-19, outfield 20-29, pitchers 30 and up.) So, probably a spring training shot, taken before Chico made the team. But this isn't the 1964 uniform, it's the 1958-1960 version. (In 1961, the Reds put "Reds" inside the big C on the chest, with a black background, and put black stripes around the sleeveholes.) So had Chico been trying to make the big club for many years before he graduated from San Diego during the '64 campaign? Or were the Reds so cheap that they kept old unis around for the minor-leaguers to wear during camp? |
