No he isn’t, and now that extends the time frame from 1970 to 1975. I will add him to the checklist. I ran across some circa 1975 pins of Fred Lynn and Jim Rice that were very similar to these but they didn’t have BOSTON or RED SOX printed in the black box so I didn’t include them. I did see a Rick Burleson pin with a different photo but the black box was partially covered by another pin so I couldn’t see if RED SOX was in the black box or not. ETA, after you mentioned the Hobson pin I looked up Hobson pins on WP and found this interesting lot that included two error pins, Burleson and Hobson each with switched photos. Apparently these were an early printing error that were quickly corrected.
