Name Yer Cub, Episode 1

[Brock Beauchamp]

This is a new thing we'll be doing on the forums. It's a fun little game where once a week, we post a player and you try to guess who it is. This is part of a push to offer more ways to interact with the site. This is the first (tiny) piece of the puzzle with more stuff launching around Opening Day and throughout the season.

Let me know if you have suggestions how to improve it!

Corey Patterson?

Tony Womack

[Jason Ross]

+1 to the Tony Womack train.

After seeing an autographed picture of Tony Womack in a Cubs uniform that matches the photo in this thread, I am now in the Tony Womack group.

batting gloves and shoes are too old for womack or pierre (who was my first instinct.) Not a lot of slappy left handed hitting Black mid-90s cubs. lance johnson or brian mcrae

Lance Johnson is a solid guess.  Too skinny for McRae though I think.

Dexter Fowler? Did he rock the high stirrups?

im telling you this is a 90s guy. look at the batting gloves and nikes, those are 90s style. if im wrong ill leave the forums forever, it's lance johnson or brian mcrae. im betting two decades of posting on this.

Lance Johnson didn't do the high stirrups. McRae did for maybe on year? Kenny Lofton did long pants as well.

Yeah, it's way too old to be Fowler.  After review, Pierre wore his pants much baggier so I don't think it's him now either, but I won't rule out an early 2000s guy yet.  Johnson and McRae both have a few pics with high socks but it wasn't the norm for either.  Lofton has zero pics with high socks in any uniform. CPatt was more muscular than this guy so I don't think it's him.

I think I'm changing my mind to Felix Pie after further research.

Yeah good call on the gloves. His swing style looked very Womack-esque but its too old. 

It's a 90s guy.

That's clearly Glenallen Hill.
