[17 Seconds]

i know this one, that's gotta be chet steadman

[CubinNY]

Lee Arthur Smith

[TarzanJoeWallis]

My first thought is Les Lancaster, but I’m not very confident. 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Mike Bielecki is my random guess. Whoever it is got downhill AF.

I think the guy in the picture has a bit less melanin than Lee

He was a lefty.

I don’t think he is thick enough to be Reuschel. I’m also pretty sure Rick never pitched in those jerseys.

He was on the 84 team, and I do believe that team did play in those jersey's (I believe the Cubs had those jersey's from 1982-89).

You are right. Would not have been able to tell you that he was on the 84 Cubs (obviously). Still think it’s too slender for him though.

Fair enough.

[TarzanJoeWallis]

I’ve also wondered about Warren Brusstar. 

[Randall Simon]

Scott Sanderson

[Thusly Boned]

Based on the Nike Air cleats, I'm thinking it's no earlier that the mid-late 80's. And was was mentioned earlier, that's a very downhill delivery. 

I'm gonna guess Bielecki or Sanderson, though the former seems more like it.

[Brian707]

No name on the back of the road blue jerseys.  1984 and beyond they did.

Tough one, unless his last name was taken out of the image. 

Going to guess :

Bielecki

Mike Morgan

 

[Rcal10]

First name that came to me was Schiraldi.

[Derwood]

I don’t know this era at all

Didn’t Morgan come to the Cubs essentially to replace Bielecki? So that might be too late for this picture, but if I recall, he did wear number 36… 

[CubinNY]

Dennis Eckersley. 

[Brock Beauchamp]

Mike Bielecki!

[We Got The Whole 9]

I guessed it and then I googled him and that image was the 2nd pic that popped up. I was totally shocked. I remember his name but that is all I remember about him lol

[Thusly Boned]

Yeah, I think outside of the recent teams, the 1987-1991 squads are the ones I know the best. Those were my formative years as a Cubs fan.

Bielecki was pretty decent in 1989, but totally unremarkable outside of that year.
