Hi Jon,
Good “who is this?” question. I’m going to say it’s Rob Picciolo.
Cheers,

Some great guesses, guys! But you guys still haven’t ID’ed the guy pictured. One of our Facebook fans was able to figure it out. But, if you don’t want to go there for the answer, I’ll give you a couple of hints:
1) He’s an infielder who was a former A’s No. 1 pick.
2) He finished his career with the Yankees.

You got it, Paul! This is the unforgettable Steve Kiefer, who was a first-round pick in 1981 by the A’s. He played a bit for Oakland before getting dealt to Milwaukee in the Moose Haas deal.
BTW, we’ve got another “who am I” photo on our Facebook page. This one might be a little easier.
