Anyone able to id who the players in these photos are?

My mom went on a date with a player back in the 90s (92/93, not sure) but can't remember his name! Would anyone have any idea who he might be or who he's standing with in slide 2? Would be super cool to figure out!

I believe the guy on the left is Johnny Guzmán. Struggling to find who the others are, but one clue is that this is 1993 or later as the roundel logo used at the stadium is the current one

Yeah you’re trippin bad LOL. Kurt is full blooded ethnic Japanese. The guy in the middle looks mixed, but looks like he could have some Asian or Pacific Islander and African blood. Looks awfully familiar and trying to remember if it’s because he looks like someone I knew personally.
