Pat Skrable was in the Phillies farm system from 1967 to 1969. In 1971 he was with the Brewers AAA affiliate.
He had four years at the AA and AAA levels with the Phillies, Royals and Brewers organizations, but never reached the major leagues. The photo of him in a Phillies uniform is probably either from Spring Training or from a late 1960s Phillies Yearbook section of their top prospects in the minor leagues. He might have been on the Phils' 40 man roster, but that's the closest he got to "The Show".

He was in the Phillies' spring training camp in 1971. He was photographed by Topps. He was traded to the Brewers for Wayne Twitchell just before the season started (see the third item on the screencap from Twitchell's Baseball Reference page). When asked for ID's here I don't post them unless I'm verifiably certain. Thanks.
