I'm trying to identify the two Cubs players in this photograph. I'm fairly certain (although not 100%) that the guy on the left is Rick Monday. I cannot identify the guy on the right. This would have been taken in the very early 1970s - likely 1971 to 1973-ish. Any ideas? (PS - yes, the hands in the center are weird, this is from AI removing a child from the center of the photo),

I was thinking Lynn McGlothen but, he wasn't a Cub until 1978.

Looking at the rosters from those years didn't help me at all. But I thought McGlothen also until I looked at the rosters

Its certainly possible he's not a Cub. From context, I'd certainly think he needs to be an athlete, and another Cub seemed the most likely. This was a photo op with both "players" taking pictures with children; its certainly someone a child would have been interested in, and with Monday being one of them a Cub seemed most likely. But certainly could be someone else.

I have no idea about the guy on the left but the guy on the right looks a helluva lot like Manny Sanguillen of the Pirates. Just a gut feeling but someone will come in the thread to confirm one way or the other

I don't think that looks like Rick Monday circa early '70s.

I looked through a lot of Monday images on Google and I just don't think it's him, either. But, I'm not very good at that kind of stuff, so I reserve the right to change my mind if someone confirms it's him. 

The guy on the right looks like someone I've seen before, maybe a boxer. But that's all I got.

Now that I have looked at some early 70s Monday pics, sideburns seemed to be his normal look.

And the answer is:

Chuck Brinkman and Pat Kelly (from the White Sox).

Thanks for weighing in, everyone. Too bad - would have preferred Rick Monday and Fergie Jenkins.
