In short it was a "blah" not a "blaze."
Not sure about Don; think it was the same. As a bonus here's a Topps Vault of Wade from Spring Training 1966:

Thanks for your time! I'm working on player name audios for a Total Classics 1971 for MVP Baseball 2005 (pc). That one's been a REAL puzzle. I looked in Baseball Reference dot com, Lancer's Project and other places to no avail. Lancer had in there...BLASS-in-game. Yours make a little more sense. Another puzzle was Gogolewski. My wife called her "100% Polish" aunt, and when she asked the spelling, she immediately came out with "GO-go-LESS-ski". That is consistent with what I've seen since.
Thanks again,
