Espino and Bill Faul 1962
That sure as heck looks like Espino, and the supposition about 1976 is a good one (though you can date troublesome Yankee photos by the "gloss" on the seats - they didn't really fade until '78 or '79 - and whether the Yankees are wearing uniforms or batting practice shirts).
But unlike Stelmaszek, who was on the Yanks' roster for a month in 1976 without ever getting into a game, I have no record of him making a similar "ghost" appearance before his debut season of 1982. It's possible they brought him up for the old Mayor's Trophy Game, or who knows what.
In any event, the Topps Vault treasure trove continues. Bill Faul, pitcher, Cubs, at Candlestick Park, 1965 or 1966.
