Jim Palmer was an Oriole in 1973, so it isn't him. But those are Catfish Hunter and Tom Seaver(who was the NL Cy Young winner) This was taken at the 1973 World Series.

Hunter and Seaver were game 3 starters at N.Y. which went 11 innings and the A's won in 11 innings

We have a winner, sadly you don't win anything.

I knew Seaver's # was 41 and nobody can mistake Catfish Hunter. Just a question of when the pic was taken. I knew A's beat the Met's in one of the world series. You also gave a big clue when you said 73 days, figured it to be in 1973. I then googled the series and found out they were the starting pitchers in game 3

Baseball can't get here soon enough. This weather is about to kill me.

If I can remember I'll do this everyday. In reality, I probably should have used Barry Bonds today but I couldn't bring myself to use a picture of him.
