This pic was taken from a 1965 celebrity baseball game at Dodger Stadium.

I can ID Annette Funicello, Phyllis Diller and Nancy Sinatra (far right), but who is the blonde in the middle wearing #28?

Looks a little like Ann-Margret or [Joanna Moore.](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0601369/bio)

I don’t know who it is, but it is definitely not Ann-Margret.

A shufty on Google Books throws up Dyan Cannon, but the internet appears to be silent otherwise.

[Here’s a clip of that day](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siiYCoNzw1s) but she doesn’t get any screen time. Perhaps she wasn’t famous enough?

I think Joanna Moore’s the closest guess so far, and it’s real close. The girl in the photo has a younger and more innocent quality than I tend to equate with Joanna Moore, whose face seemed to me to have more of a sharp-edged and sophisticated quality. But it might be her anyway. I haven’t been able to think of another actress who looks more like her.

She’s wearing #28, and Wes Parker’s girlfriend at the time was supposedly a Broadway actress, but that’s all I’ve got.

Well, except this: Who the hell would wear a Wes Parker jersey, other than his girlfriend? Serious question.

Wellll. . . finding [a name](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wes_Parker) was easy. Finding a contemporary (or even current!) photo of her has been a little more elusive.

The Internet Broadway Database lists two credits for Pat Randall and I found an AP report from January of '64 that says she’s a 27-year-old model and stewardess from Craddock, VA. Presumably they mean the planned community in Portsmouth. I tried the [Cradock High School yearbook for '54](http://www.classmates.com/yearbooks/Cradock-High-School/27736#) but can’t find her.
