You'll find images of Mike with the three major league teams he played for here. And there's a nifty image of him from the 1954 Phillies yearbook here.
The attached image (in need of a perspective fix) is a 1947 team issued postcard of Mike with Brooklyn currently being offered on eBay by seller krout20. |
