I'm buying the ears, but little else. Then again this would be a 23-year old Fontenot, not the 26-year old who showed up in the majors in 1984.

Anybody got any thoughts? Facial Recognition Software?

We know only this for sure: the photograph was part of a shoot of the obscure guys in camp. Non-roster guys and possibly guys brought over from minor league camp just for the day.
Here is a comparison with a ca. 1984 image of Fontenot. Note the right ear and nose differences. They are not the same person.
