1985 Blue Jays catchers were-
Ernie Whitt (it ain't him);
Buck Martinez, don't think it's him;
Gary Allenson (it ain't him);
Steve Nicosia, no;
and Jeff Hearron, maybe...
does anyone recognize this player? |
While I don't recognize him, per se, there is a name on his glove. Without messing with the photography myself, the closest match to the piece of the name I can make out is Dave Stenhouse, who was a minor league catcher in the Blue Jays system for several years (never made the show). I've attached a minor league card of his.
Its worth remembering that there are ALWAYS multiple non-roster catchers in spring training for every club. Lots of pitchers means lots of catchers.
