This is missing from a lot of collections and files. Hermoso spent 1974 as a Cleveland infielder, and here he is - but this photograph was definitely taken in April, 1975, at the same time Hermoso was supposedly in the Mexican League.

This is part of a group of a dozen or so Indians players posed in the same lighting, tree growth behind the outfield, etc. The Shea scoreboard is seen in many images, fully lit up, showing both teams' batting orders and even the out-of-town scoreboard. There is no question this photo - and the others like the Berry previously posted - was taken on Monday night, April 28, 1975.

Hermoso was in camp with Cleveland in '75, but he was not listed on the opening day roster. So was he recalled from the Mexican League and just didn't get into any games? Or is this not Hermoso, but another player who didn't get into any games for Cleveland in 1975 and just happens to look incredibly like Hermoso?

I'm betting on the former.
