Mike Gonzalez
Keeping with the catching theme. Here is a pair of Miguel Angel "Mike" Gonzalez cards. Mike Gonzalez is super underrated for a man who was a true baseball pioneer. He was one of the first Cubans to play in the Major Leagues (1912). He had a 17 year major league career. He became a well respected coach with the St. Louis Cardinals and manged the team on two short occasions. In Cuba he was a long time player, manager and team owner of the Habana club. His baseball involvement spanned seven decades.
