Not to nitpick, but isn't it possible that the #15 partially shown with his back to the camera is Tom Tresh rather than Thurman Munson? Tresh wore #15 as a Yankee and was traded June 14, 1969. Munson played his first game August 8, 1969. The photo was taken at some time during the 1969 season because Gibbs has the 1869-1969 centennial patch on his uniform. Maybe someone could tell by the build, Tresh was 6'1" 180 pounds, Munson was 5'11', 190 pounds.
