not only is glendon rusch in this picture, he's wearing a zip-up fleece of some kind while the others (including what looks to be an emaciated kerry wood) are in dress shirts.

Kerry looks like he's in the mob. I had no idea that was Rusch and was about to ask who it was. That's probably my favorite word filter of all time though. Does is still work? Boobs.

 

Edit: Guess not.

also is jacque jones really there? that surprises me

 

Yes, but he was late

 

this is so weird to me. jacque had two solid years with the cubs but i never felt like he was particularly loved by fans. do they always bring random weirdos to the convention?

Not only was he not a fan favorite, but he was vocal about the shitty, racist/racial treatment he got from some fans. I think he later downplayed that, but still, definitely not someone I'd expect to see back.

 

And it was always a little odd how his career just stopped liked it did. Guess he just completely broke down.

I think Todd Walker had an even stranger end to his career. First of all he was like an .800 OPS 2B with the Red Sox (although that meant less back then and his defense left a lot to be desired), accepted a backup role with the Cubs, had 2 .820 OPS years then got traded to SD and when his contract expired he just left the game. Granted he was terrible his year in SD but He was worth 2-3 offensive wins per year in 350-400 PAs with the Cubs. I feel like he could have gotten a contract somewhere as a backup or DH, at the very least a spring invite but he just decided he was done.
