If additional confirmation is needed, notice that none of the players in the background of Phillies' #55 have names on the backs of their uniforms. The last time the Phils did that was 1973.

Ahh, I was going through the Phillies organizational charts and I couldn't find anyone who fit alphabetically other than Brusstar, but Bruhert never pitched in the Phils' chain, he was Rule V drafted and then given back. That's why I missed him.
Sorry about that. And thanks for the info about the year the Phils went to names on the backs.
Where does one find spring rosters? Seems as though everyone has them, save me.
