Andy Seminick as a 23-year-old rookie

Andy Seminick, noted Phillies and Reds catcher (1920-2004) MLB: 1943-1957 & 1949
starting National League all-star game catcher:
Seminick fit the description of the grizzled veteran to a T. Maybe that's why Robin Roberts
selected this photo of Andy for his book (published in 1996) on the 1950 Phillies "Whiz Kids"
team captioning it "Could Andy ever have looked so young"?
Seminick was already a steady veteran of the baseball wars when he caught Roberts between
1948 to 1951 and 1955 to 1957. Andy looked much younger in this photo when he made his
major league debut on Sept. 14, 1943, two days after his 23rd birthday.
