Nice Staub photo. Is the memoriam band for Jim Umbricht (1964)?

The late Hoyt Wilhelm, HoFer, in late 1970. He appeared in three forgettable games with the Cubs (0-1, 9.82).

Red Sox Manager Bobby Valentine wearing Minior League jersey #25. He was in Yarmouth, MA for "Bobby Valentine Day". He played for the Yarmouth Indians back in 1967, the Cape Cod Baseball League team that would become the Y-D Red Sox. He is wearing a current Y-D jersey and the #25 I assume was his number back in the day.

ditka is sporting a macgregor helmet in the photo, most likely a mac E700 - it's a macgregor product endorsement shot as opposed to team head shot. here are a few other macgregor endorsement shoots with marquee players modeling macgregor helmets, shoulder pads and footballs....

Mystery solved - I have seen those ads with Unitas wearing MacGregor gear various places, but had not see the shots of the other players. The Bart Starr shot is really interesting - what the heck kind of "G" is that? It almost looks like a wishbone "C" (Bears, Reds, etc.) turned into a "G".
