He was not selected by any of the new expansion teams and suffered a reversal in '62 when he hurled a 4-11 season for the Bison. His last in pro ball. I found one photo from his 2015 obituary which has no caption. Another is from a book Baseball in Buffalo by Paul Langendorfer and the Buffalo History Museum. It features future big leaguers Ted Savage and Felix Torres alongside Seward. Despite a solid eleven year minor league career with a 107-81 record Wally Seward never made it to the majors. After his stellar '61 season I wonder if the Phillies invited him to spring training.

Regarding the Bisons. Do you live in the Buffalo area? I do. Saw many games at the Rockpile. I'm 58 years old. I recall Tony Pena catching for the AA Bisons. Is there a way to look up players in this game? My mom's cousin was Danny Ozark, once the Philadelphia Phillies manager.. Original name was Orzechowski. TY
