Mays, Mantle and Inao were his teammates
On August 31, 1924 , George Wilson was born. Who the hell is George Wilson you ask?
Well George had a long but mediocre career with a paucity of highlights. But in 1956 he played for both the New York Giants and the New York Yankees. I don't think anyone else in 1956 was a teammate of both Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays, but none of their prowess rubbed off on George.
George returned to the minors in 1957 and continued to drift into oblivion.
His last two years in organized ball were played with the Nishitetsu Lions, where he was a teammate of Kazuhisa Inao, the workhorse of the Lions pitching staff for a number of years.
George retired at the age of 39
