I was going to blur out the face and make this a "mystery motion", but I think this Cub is obscure enough that I don't have to. The uniform should give a clue.
It’s not a pullover and it lacks the blue trim around the neck, so that rules out the ‘80s. The pre-pullover uniforms, from the 70s, didn’t have the cub-face logo on the sleeves. The “walking cub” sleeve logo replaces the face in 1997. So the photo between 1990 and 1996.
At least the laws in Michigan seem tougher on DUI than Wisconsin . . . I know someone with 5. That’s right, 5. He’s been waiting for sentencing for about 6 months. Probably won’t get longer than 1 year.
last summer, I stopped at an Applebee’s in Sparks, NV for lunch. (No slot machines.) Near the bathroom, they had a little window display on Shawn Boskie’s career, including a uniform and hat from his Angels days.
Still sounds good. There are too many smart people here not to want to drink form the same Big Gulp. I’ve been reading comments on this website for a while now and totally have respect for you guys. Talking Cubs year round is the greatest thing ever!

see my profile pic. no glasses, no facial hair.
LaddieRenfroe - January 26, 2009
is he a local product?
gocubsgo22 - January 26, 2009
Nope.
Al Yellon - January 26, 2009
Wow!
That’s a lot of pitchers mentioned.
However, no one has gotten it yet.
Al Yellon - January 26, 2009
Larry Sorenson?
Shanghai Badger - January 26, 2009
there's a sad story
Sorensen has had some problems since leaving the game
LaddieRenfroe - January 26, 2009
That is sad

Jeff Hartsock
LaddieRenfroe - January 26, 2009
I didn't think anyone remembered Jeff Hartsock.
But no, it’s not him. Nor is it Sorensen or Bullinger.

Yeah, Im sticking with Donn Pall.
Ron Trauma - January 26, 2009
al said he's not a local product
so that would rule out pall.
LaddieRenfroe - January 26, 2009
D'oh!
Shanghai Badger - January 26, 2009
Steve Wilson?
LAcarl519 - January 26, 2009
Wilson was lefthanded.
So it can’t be him, and it’s not.

Shawn Boskie
Just came to me…
IowaCubs- - January 26, 2009
Another semi-obscure name.
But it’s not him.
Al Yellon - January 26, 2009
I went to a game in 1990 that he started...
I’m totally out of answers.
IowaCubs- - January 26, 2009
has this guy already been the subject of a "name that cub"?
cause i’d like to rule out Mike Perez, who had a similar hairdo.
LaddieRenfroe - January 26, 2009
It's not Perez.
Al Yellon - January 26, 2009
Something tells me that the entire 1989-1996 Cubs staff...
sported a hockey mullett.
IowaCubs- - January 26, 2009
As I was travelling through Nevada
last summer, I stopped at an Applebee’s in Sparks, NV for lunch. (No slot machines.) Near the bathroom, they had a little window display on Shawn Boskie’s career, including a uniform and hat from his Angels days.
Josh Timmers - January 26, 2009
Near a bathroom in Sparks, Nevada.
Somehow, that seems appropriate.
FWIW, Boskie has had a good post-baseball career — he works for a venture capital firm in the Phoenix area.
Al Yellon - January 27, 2009
Danny Jackson
Cubbie-Tim - January 26, 2009
Jackson was lefthanded.

Bill Long?
sloathcheck78 - January 26, 2009
DINGDINGDING!!!
We, at last, have a winner. Bill Long pitched part of one season for the Cubs. But someone took his picture.
Al Yellon - January 26, 2009
He had a mustache with the White Sox...
Just the coolest fact I can think to say about him.

Al Yellon - January 26, 2009
that you will admit to
Cubbie-Tim - January 26, 2009
If I had, I'd admit to it!
Al Yellon - January 26, 2009
Are you sure about that?
Al you and I are close to the same age and saw a lot of the same pitchers in the 70s. Are you sure if you were one of them you’d admit it?

IowaCubs- - January 26, 2009

Cubbie-Tim - January 26, 2009
is he a pitcher
Or is this like the DD one a few days ago, where it was an OF pitching
Cubbie-Tim - January 26, 2009
No, this is an actual pitcher.
Al Yellon - January 26, 2009
Henry Rowengartner?
Or maybe Chet Steadman, giving someone the high stinky cheese?
LaddieRenfroe - January 26, 2009
LMAO
Cubbie-Tim - January 26, 2009
Can’t be him. He’s throwing a deuce in that picture.
VFTB Matt - January 26, 2009
See above.
It’s Bill Long.
Al Yellon - January 26, 2009
Good one Al...
any of those in my formative years as a Cubs fan (87-98) and I can usually do ok… but Bill Long? Sheesh.
IowaCubs- - January 26, 2009
I'm new here...
Do I win the respect of some of you for getting it right? HA!
sloathcheck78 - January 26, 2009
13 BCB points...
redeemable for a small sip of Al’s big gulp.
IowaCubs- - January 26, 2009
The BCB Store
should be ready for opening day. Save your points, there’s gonna be a big opening weekend sale.
dtpollitt - January 26, 2009
Thanks!
That is more than I could ever ask for.
sloathcheck78 - January 26, 2009
don't be too greatful...
it’s the last sip, so it’s mostly backwash.

Maybe I’m getting him mixed up with someone else but didn’t he actually not pitch too horribly with us and then got hurt?
