I could be wrong but I think #3 is Curt Simmons,even though he never wore #3.He did pitch for the Angels in 1967.

Right, that's Curt Simmons. He was my Dad's favorite pitcher way back in the day.

He's actually wearing Danny Ozark's uniform for some reason.

In the original post on a Philly baseball page on Facebook, the man on the right was referred to as Robin Roberts. But yeah, maybe it's Ozark. Roberts did have some long sideburns in some later photos.

Bobby Shantz, still alive at 98.

Man on the right  has to be Robin Roberts, just occurred to me that he does look a lot like him.

Side note: Simmons finished his career with the Halos in 1967.

I once interviewed for a job at Upper Deck.  Part of the process was to take a visual test of looking at photos and being able to identify the player.  No team names or logos would be in the photo.

I got two wrong.  One inexcusable mistake was I spelled Bob Welch’s name wrong.  I know how to spell his name but I somehow choked and wrote “Bob Welsch.”  That one will bug me forever.

The other one I got wrong was this guy in the photo (I just grabbed a face photo here, not the photo I was tested on).  I didn’t know so I guessed John Wehner.  Wrong, but they laughed at my guess.

Who is this player?  No cheating with image search.
