O/T Who is this with Mickey?
 

I received a pleasant email asking for help identifying who this is with the Mick. Anyone know? Thanks in advance.

Don’t know who it is, but a real possibility someone who ask for a photo after a chance meeting.
Only a guess.

From his outfit I would guess that he is a process server, who seems to reassuring Mickey that the suit he is holding is garbage.

Some sellers on eBay would claim it's Joe Jackson.

The noggin-topper on Mickey's friend is the type commonly worn in the 1920's, and thus of course it is Joe Jackson, because his last year in the majors was 1920.

I think that’s 1985 when Mantle did a little broadcasting. Could be a chance encounter or someone associated. Keep diggin. He may have looked a bit older in 85 - but the rest of the set fits.

I think you're right, John. I'll bet any number of 'executive producer' types were jumping at the chance to get a pic with the Mick.

He looks familiar, just can't put a name to him? :confused:

Did a search for "people who look like donald o'connor" but came up empty.

Is it possibly an older pic of Aaron Spelling?

Not spelling; Looks more like Fran Gorshen's brother. Perfect teeth, dapper - someone in show biz is my guess, too.

Willie the Shoe? I'm sticking with that guess. Mickey's almost as tall as he is while sitting. Plus I believe Mick was known to play the ponies!

That looks like the old SportsChannel logo on his jacket, he did broadcasting with them in the mid 80s

Looks like a jockey.

Gary Moser

Came up with that all by yourself did you? ;)

I say he is just another no-name, local mooch, clamping onto MM to get a donation so he can buy another half pint and some better looking / fitting rags. :D

Retired golfer, he has the golfer shoes and cap on

Missed your post : )

Not Willie Shoemaker though.

never mind...it was a bad guess!!!!

Stan Laurel's nephew?

Looks a little like Ken Berry. Probably not him though.

Vintage lacoste belt, cant tell from the pic but the lapel pin may provide a clue
