He grew up just over the mountain from me in Carlisle, PA, and he was drafted straight out of Carlisle High School in the mid-60's. After being sidelined, he became a contractor of homes and commercial dwellings in his local area (Carlisle). In fact, he built my Dad's house and where my wife and I are living right now. He told me he came up with Vida Blue, Gene Tenace, George Hendrick, etc., and it just tore his heart out when they went into 3 straight World Series, knowing that he would've been in the thick of it. He moved to Florida where the contracting business was better for him some time ago. http://www.baseball-reference.com/re...d=sheare001joh
Thanks for your help!

If you want a photo that simply shows Shearer in a professional uniform, I've posted it on the OOTP minor league thread where it belongs. It's a newspaper photo which only shows the back of his head in game action while he's at bat, but it was the only one of him I could find.
