Happy birthday to my friend mike sandlock turns 99 today
A Birthday shout out to my friend Mike Sandlock who turns 99 today!! I believe he is now the old living player! Still doing well. Has slowed down with the game of golf but still gets around! Happy Birthday Mike. A few photos from the interview I did with him! A True class act!! If you look in the first picture to the left those are scrap books filled with all kinds of clippings and photos. I spent hours looking thru all of them! Boy the stories he can tell... signature still not bad!!

Congrats, Mike and to you, Al.
Our biggest natural resource is our senior citizens...why not start a conversation with one today? Thanks for sharing!

Hi Greg,
Yes is a game bat he used. The sign is kinda humorous says "Didnt make the hall of fame but enjoy anyways" He has lots of period photos of him and a few Jackie Robinson photos when they played together.

I'll add my birthday greetings to the pile!
Funny thing about that 1953 Topps card - Mike is listed as a catcher, and pictured wearing a catcher's mitt, but doesnt it look like he's playing the infield?

I posted the interview with Sandlock on Twitter and MiLB(minor league ball) tweeted it to their 93,700+ followers, so Mr Sandlock is getting some notice today. He last played for Syracuse in 1954(The Chiefs also tweeted it)

happy birthday
happy birthday! I didn't look this up before, but Mike played on the '53 Pirates with my uncle Pete Castiglione (passed away in 2010). They also were both born in Connecticut. I bet Mike has some great stories.

You are correct Mike would tell me that all the time they would play together when they were younger at the Bible St field (which is still there today)..
