Return of The Mystery Yaz Teammate!
When I first started my Yaz site way back in 1994, I briefly ran a Mystery Yaz Teammate feature. Well ... it's back!

Is it Rico Petrocelli?

No. It definitely isn't Petrocelli BUT I'd only be guessing myself. Maybe a pitcher - the sideburns might hint at early 70s - maybe Sonny Seibert?

Not Rico or Sonny.
He played for the Sox from 71-77 and was a top five contender for Rookie of the Year in 71.

I don't remember Doug Griffen being that promising - but I'm leaning more towards him. It don't look like Ray Culp - who was a lot more promising.

Yup, Doug Griffin it is!
Here are the 1971 AL Rookie of the Year voting. I believe there was a sportswriter designated with a vote for every team. No idea how Griffin got three votes!
1 Chris Chambliss CLE 11
2 Bill Parsons MIL 5
3 Angel Mangual OAK 4
4 Doug Griffin BOS 3
5 Paul Splittorff KCR 1
