Help - Mike Schmidt Full Beard Photo Date

[thecatspajamas]

Anyone know what time frame Mike Schmidt sported a full beard? I'm trying to narrow the date on this photo. Thanks for any help.

I'm in Philly and I remember him having a full beard in the 1983 season, although his hair was shorter than in your pic and there's no Phillies 100th anniversary patch on the left sleeve. Maybe an 83 spring training game?
I don't think he started wearing the Nikes until 1980 or 81, so you can narrow it down to those few years

I was thinking spring training as well, based mainly on the stadium railing - looks like Jack Russel. I was also thinking 82 or 83.

Much appreciated insight. Thanks for the help guys!

I just came across my old 1982 Fleer Schmidt award winner card, full beard and long-ish hair. The picture on the Fleer card is from the end of the 81 season. As someone else said the picture isn't from The Vet. Spring training 82, no doubt
