As you know the Orioles (Coke & Crown Oil sponsored) in 1991 issued a card set with every Orioles player who ever appeared in a game with them (I believe it was a 502 card set).
Obviously the set included Ron Jackson (whose photo you posted was the first one I've seen with him in an Oriole uniform; thank you).
I had Ron sign his card (with the inscription of "Not Me" lol), but do you have any idea on who is pictured??

Bill,
I love the Vi Ripken letter and stationary. I remember waiting for the 1991 Crown Oil set with excitement and being so disappointed that so many of the cards pictured players in uniforms other than the Orioles. They got the Ron Jackson card half right. It is Ron Jackson. Just the Ron Jackson that played mainly for the White Sox from 1954-1960. Unbelievable...
