Oooh, that is an interesting point.

The Japanese text on that card from my blog specifically says it is Frisch. If you look on the top right side of the banner it says "フリッシュ君” which is "Mr. Frisch" (Furishu Kun). On the left it says "二塁手” which means "Second baseman". Frisch played second, Oliver was an outfielder.

I guess its possible they might have accidentally used a picture of a different player, but its hard to reach that conclusion. Looking around at photos of both of them from their playing days I really can’t say which it looks more like (though there are a lot more photos of Frisch to go on out there). Half his face is in shadow on the card which makes it a bit tricky. Its true that it doesn't jump out and say "this is Frisch" but at the same time I don't see anything that rules it out as being Frisch (or anything that rules it out as being Oliver, at least from the photo alone).

Anyone else have an opinion?
