Not in a Phillies uniform but I'm adding it to this thread nonetheless. He ran the store until 1973. I always read it as "Best Mishes".
Michael- Jim Konstanty was born about 40 miles from Mount Morris NY, where I live. Eddie Sawyer lived in Mount Morris in the off season. He went to Ithaca College and married a Mount Morris girl. He is buried here. Quite a "Whiz Kid" connection for a small town.
