After giving it a 2nd look, and comparing with prior TV pics of Segelke with the Giants (MiLB 1983-84, after his tenure with the Cubs), and also with his Cubs minor league card that Bearman posted earlier in this thread, I have serious doubts about his ID. Here is the Cubs player at ke351, and 3 Segelke pics.
