My cousin was Moritz Herman Flohr, nicknamed "Dutch" or Mort and was signed off the Duke University campus by Connie Mack. In 1934, straight out of Duke, he pitched in 14 games for the Phil A's. In spring training 1935 he deleloped arm problems and never played ML ball again.

I just picked up this Geo Burke photo of him in the recent MEARS auction, one of only 2 known poses of him in his A's uniform.

Also showing a PC auto of his, of which I have several and a couple of auto index cards he signed for me in the early '90's when his eyesight was going bad & was not in good health when I last saw him. He died in 1994.
