Default Wrigley Field circa 1970 photo help needed
My dad took this picture at Wrigley Field on one of our family trips. I am wondering if someone can ID the young boy between Willie Stargell and Ernie Banks. I think it might be Michael Jackson near the very start of his singing career from nearby Gary Indiana. Anyone help ?

Can't say for sure but it certainly does resemble him. Any approximate years your family trips could be from? Interesting that both the Cubs and Pirates players are in their home uniforms. Exhibition game maybe?

We went to Friday Cubs games ( half price for my Mom and 4 sisters) from 1967 through 1977.

The Pirate player on the right has the build and stance of Clemente but doesn't look like his number 21 on the jersey.

That's awesome. Sorry I'm not helping much with your original question. I love the photo wether or not it's Michael Jackson.

Default Wrigley Photo
Great thread throughout but I can't help thinking a 14 year-old kid would be taller than the four-feet-not much more of the kid here. Does seem like a kid with some cache, though, or why else are these guys getting photo'd with him.

Fun read, regardless. Thx
