Tommy Lasorda, Tug McGraw, Dave Parker, Bruce Sutter, Garry Templeton.

I also think that's Mike Schmidt in the front row.

If it is, then he was never on the Padres at the same time Sutcliffe was on the Dodgers, meaning that top left guy would be Sutcliffe.

First, let's identify the picture.

Toral
 
15blue hen
      ID: 30311814
      Fri, Jul 25, 2008, 16:46 		It looks more like Buckner than Sutcliffe. The caption said this was a "1976 tour of Japan." Buckner was traded from the Dodgers to the Cubs after the 1976 season, so I'll call the guy on the left Buckner.

I am guessing this is an NL all-star team that went to play some games in Japan.

Anywhere from 1982-1984

      Fri, Jul 25, 2008, 16:53 		The key right now is the Padre. If in fact it is Garry Templeton, then the picture is dated from 1982-1984.

If its Ozzie Smith, than it could be older, but no older than 1978.

      Fri, Jul 25, 2008, 16:56 		Yeah, that is definitely Bert Blyleven.

So that means that is Ozzie Smith in the Padre uniform, and that means the picture is from 1978, 1979, or 1980.

Maybe it's later than 76. Interesting.

37DWetzel at work
      ID: 278201415
      Fri, Jul 25, 2008, 17:08 		More accurately, 1979... there was a tour of Japan by the NL All Stars, after which a few AL All-Stars joined the team for two more games. Which explains why this is almost exclusively NL players. (I guess Lopez didn't have anything better to do.)

I don't know the NL very well--grew up in Cleveland so an AL pic of this type would be cool to see.

is Chuck Tanner drunk? he put his stirrups on without socks, grabbed someone else's windbreaker, and is only on his feet due to leaning on the suit in front.

back row cardinal should be Bob Forsch.

Left of him is Gary Mathews.

The Phillie in the center reminds me of Tug McGraw. Either that or its Bruce Jenner moonlighting in baseball.

The Phillie to the right of that looks like the Bull, but I didn't think he had a beard until much later.

Back Row (standing right to left):
Gomez Adams, Fester Adams, Lurch (in suit and tie), Pugsley Adams, Davey Jones (cause of much friction on the team as both are on the Pirates), Peter Tork, Mike Nesmith, Micky Dolenz, John, Paul, Ringo and George

      Mon, Jul 28, 2008, 23:33 		That's Dick Ruthven, who was traded back to the Phillies for Gene Garber. The civilian next to George Foster in the back row is NL publicity director Blake Cullen. The Padre kneeling to the right of Lasorda is Roger Craig. The big guy in the left rear could be Kirk Gibson. That's Blyleven partially concealed next to Candelaria. I think the big guy next to Candy is Jim Bibby. The blocked Expo probably is Gary Carter.

      Tue, Jul 29, 2008, 13:03 		The guy in the top left looks like Eckersley. However...
The cap looks more like an Indians cap than a Red Sox cap, and Eck was on Cleveland from '75-'77 before moving to Boston.

(Actually, the cap logo look more like this:

But Boston caps have always had a "B" logo - unless this was some special cap.)

Here are Eckersley baseball cards for '76, '77, and '78 (taken in '75, 76', and '77):


He looks too young on those cards to be the guy in the upper left (particularly the moustache), so I'm guessing it's either an older Eckersley (after the Cleveland era) with the alternate Sox logo, or else it's an Eckersley look-alike.

This is the first time I've seen this but this was my hay day of baseball. I recognize many of the people involved.

Just educated guess. Was going to say it was the '79 all star game since LaSorda would have been the manager, but it obviously isn't. You have an AL player there. The NL was dominant at that time, but only one AL player? Also it must be a Japanese tour as they are in a Japanese ballpark.

The guy kneeling in front of LaSorda is the Dodgers trainer at the time, Bill Bueller.

I am not sure who else hasn't been named...

So it's probably a 1977 picture.

MLB in Japan history
1979 - The NL All-Stars were 4-2-1 against the AL, then a combined US team went 1-1 vs. Japanese competition.

Still looking for box scores and rosters.

'79 wsa the eyar that everyone loved those ugly rings on their hats. As you can see, some have rings and some don't with the same team.

MBJ--you've got it. That's Kingman!

This is definitely 1979. Had it right the first time.

      Tue, Jul 29, 2008, 14:17 		[86] I was joking. I knew Eckersley began his career as a starter. My comment was that he was apparently both starting and closing his own games in 1978-79.

I think the suit behind Matthews and Tanner is Lee Macphail...could not find a good pic of him from that era but this pic certainly resembles his son Andy but this would have been before Andy's time.
