My first guess would be a White Sox/Cub, but like you say it could also be Dodger/Yankee.
Notice the reverse miscut...not a sliver of the salmon color, yet the full right edge of the black border and, I think, clear specks of white indicating we're seeing the full thickness and it is one of the thinner borders.
I went through all available (to my counting) Dodgers/Yankees AND White Sox Cubs, and could find no card that had the offset of the salmon from the black to this degree, to include Wilhelm which shows a slight offset. Then I went through ALL the Yankees/Dodgers and Cubs/White Sox just for kicks - it could only be two. The first is Don Buford, but he is safely ensconced elsewhere. The other is Steve Hamilton, but I don't think there is any way any of us think we could have messed up the right edge so badly.
What if we expanded a bit - is there any chance the card above Bennett could be, like Bennett, a pink Red Sox or Pirate? Because Bob Bailey would fit that reverse miscut perfectly, IMHO. With the color issues observed on a couple of those Aaron's I posted a couple weeks ago, can it be out of the question?
