Joey is not Byron is not Bo.

There were three right handed pitchers of dubious merit in the majors in the 1976-84 era: Byron with Seattle and California (and later a criminal still sought by US authorities), Joey with Atlanta, Toronto, and Texas (and usually with glasses), and Bo with Houston, Atlanta, and Oakland (and usually with a 'fro - also later pitching coach of the Rockies). Just to fuzz things up further, Joey and Bo were in the Braves' bullpen simultaneously in 1979.

Here is Bo from Topps Vault, dating to 1976, at Wrigley Field:
