Here's the most interesting one. Jerry DaVanon #16, with bat #3 (coach Hub Kittle?) And, notice his pants compared to Skip Jutze's. No uniform number! I had a hunch of why this might be, and it looks like the facts bear me out. I wondered if he had just joined the team, and sure enough he was called up August 1, when the Astros were visiting the Giants. (The photo is in Candlestick Park). I am guessing that he didn't have his own bats yet, and they didn't have pants with his uniform number ready yet.
At least Jerry didn't have to borrow someone else's pants :)
