Default 1963 Cardinals

This handsome young fellow lives in my daughters home town of Beaver Falls, PA. Played minor league ball for 17 years, had one call up with the 1963 Cardinals as a Pinch hitter, unfortunately his first major league at bat he faced Sandy Koufax! ouch....

Interesting career...

He is a great guy with some great baseball stories. He was nice enough to sign this card for me :-)

Living outside Richmond VA, it’s this guy:

The thinking is he played at Amelia High but didn’t graduate. I bought a NM 52 Bowman of him for about $12 last month. His control was not Dalkowski-level but it was darn close.

Default Fred Newman - Brookline, MA

Only three graduates of Brookline (MA) High School have played MLB ball, and Fred Newman is the only one who appeared in more than 4 games or has a card. Here's his 1966 Topps.

Eddie Phillips. He pinch ran 9 times at the end of the season for the 1953 Cardinals but never got an AB.
