David Mann

Outfielder David Mann was on the Cleveland Indians' spring roster in 1958. He is shown here in a Seattle Rainiers uniform. He died recently on May 14 at age 85.

Mann was a base-stealing specialist. He swiped 88 bases one season at York, 65 at Reading, and 50 at AAA Minneapolis. Over his 12 seasons in the minors, he had a career batting average of .282.

P.S. Though the quality is not good, just found a newspaper photo (Cleveland Plain Dealer, Mar. 7, 1958) which shows Mann with the Cleveland Indians, sliding back into first base on a pickoff attempt. It is added as a third photo.
