Wrigley Field historical sleuthing: 1960s edition, and a mystery

I trust I don’t have to tell you who this player is. That’s not the mystery.

This photo was sent to me by Chris Johnson, who told me:

I actually took this picture — sorry for the Instamatic quality. It’s what many of us used back then. My dad had done some work for a season ticket holder who graciously gave him four tickets to this game. That’s right — the picture is taken from our front row seats between the dugout and the on-deck circle. Any other game and it was grandstand only for us.
