A couple of the cards I got from Night Owl present some unsolved questions in the margins of their photographs.
Here is a 1982 Fleer Steve McCatty, being interviewed by an African American broadcaster. I checked Wikipedia (yes, you can actually look this stuff up there) and the A's broadcast team that year as well as the broadcasters for the two playoff series the A's were in were all white. It's not Bill White because he was only three inches shorter than McCatty and this announcer is significantly shorter than that. Any ideas?
Here is Lance Parrish's 1983 Fleer card, which appears to have been taken at the 1982 All-Star Game at Olympic Stadium. (That's why the man in the turquoise shirt behind him is wearing an Expos cap.) But who is that breathing into Parrish's face? Whoever it is appears to be an Atlanta Brave, but I could be getting the jersey wrong. Three Braves made the All-Star team that year: Phil Niekro, Bob Horner, and Dale Murphy. Any idea who it is? Or is it none of the above?
