Jackie Mayo passed away at age 89 recently. He was with the Phillies for
all or parts of six seasons (1948-1953), his only major league team. He later
formed a very successful real estate developing company in Ohio.
He was with the Phillies only for the month of September in 1950, but an
illness suffered by outfielder, Bill Nicholson created a vacancy for Mayo on the
postseason roster and Mayo appeared in three World Series games that year.
