That's my buddy, the late Ted Patterson, with Luis. Ted was a long-time and well-known Baltimore media personality who amassed an incredible collection, including many thousands of autographs acquired personally in the course of his work. LOTG auctioned Ted's collection a few years ago after he passed away, and I assume this photo came from there. Looks like it was taken at an all-star game.

Wow that's incredible info..

The back actually gives a name, though it's not Ted. It's Keith Rawlinson of Baltimore. Along with an address and phone number. Maybe a friend or relative?

I do agree it looks like an all star game. However Luis didn't make an all star team in '66 or '67 ('66 was the first year of the cartoon bird) so that is strange. Maybe something to do with the world series is my only idea.

That's Ted, without a doubt. Perhaps Rawlinson took the picture. The name doesn't mean anything to me, maybe another media guy who had that kind of access and could get it signed, or maybe Ted got it signed for him.

I concur; that’s definitely Ted. I picked up a few items from his collection over the years.

That's definitely Memorial Stadium & while their sole ASG was in '58, I suspect this was taken at an Old Timer's Game (most likely 1986).
