Mark MacraeLooking at his uniform, it looks like a pullover double-knit jersey which wasn't introduced until the early 1970's (Cardinals specialists can tell you the specific year) The Baseball Encyclopedia doesn't show a Lee Thomas playing for the Cardinals during the 1970's, however the Cardinals' media guide shows a "Lee Thomas" who worked as an administrative assistant in the sales & promotions department during the mid-70's. You might find his picture in a Cardinals yearbook to match it up. Wouldn't be the first time a front office staffer made it onto a team-issued set of photos.
