I've looked at the Cubs' section of Mark Okkonen's photo book on the decade of the Fifties, and I don't see a match with the players he displays with the 1951 Cubs. I'm willing to do more research on this if you give me more details as a starting baseline.

The diamond shaped patch on his arm was used in the 1951 Year for the 75th anniversary of the National League... other than that I dont have any info. I believe I got the photo from here years ago, and it didnt have a name attached to it.
Very possible it could be a minor leaguer.
