A little internet sleuthing shows me that that uniform with that shoulder patch was from 1979-1981ish

Dejesus guess is looking better. He played in that time.

Yeah, I'm going with DeJesus, also.

Went down the rabbit hole of those Cubs teams (1979-81 teams, so a little before my time) and there were a few names, I either did not know played for the Cubs or forgot. Names like Bobby Murcer, Lenny Randle, Mike Tyson, Barry Foote and Willie Hernandez.

Tim Blackwell definitely had a Vitrimite style mustache.

I’d be shocked if it isn’t Ivan de Jesus. A part of two big Cubs trades. Acquired, along with Bill Buckner, for Rick Monday. And then, of course, sent out for Larry Bowa and Ryne Sandberg. 
 

When I worked in minor league baseball he was a roving instructor for the Dodgers. Whenever he was in town he’d find me so I could get him a coffee out of the concession stand. Nice guy and 24 year old me thought it was cool that I was getting coffee for Ivan de Jesus.

My guess is Dejesus, but mainly because that looks like very early 80s (just a bit before I started really following) and there just aren't a ton of other notable players from that time that would seem to fit

For me, this was the easiest one. I looked at it for 2 seconds and thought DeJesus. Guess being old helped in that one.
