We’re nothing but a long nap away from summer at this point, so I’m going to give you a tough one to ponder whilst you sip your lemonade/roll hoops/catch dragonflies/cavort in fire hydrants.
First person in the comments to name the Mets player pictured here wins a sweet PSA 7 1969 Topps Dan Frisella.

Best of luck!
Looks like a young Rick Peterson, but I’m guessing not.
Metstheory22 left this comment on the photo, rather than the article:
John Strohmayer. We got him off waivers from Montreal and pitched for Mets 1973-4.
Boy, do Mets360 readers know their stuff! It is indeed John Strohmayer.

It does look like Rick Peterson. So what card is this photo from?
The photo is actually from an unused 1974 Topps negative– Strohmayer never appeared on a Topps card in a Mets uni. (He was in the 1971-1973 sets with the Expos.)
Dorry for delyed response but Wow … Fantastically difficult question. I don’t even remember the guy.
