Mizell not the one in Cardinal uniform
I picked up the Mizell card on ebay about a year ago and was disappointed he was not in a Cardinal uniform. The mystery is finally solved with Congessman Jim Symington being the one in the Cardinal uniform. He represented the St. Louis area and his father was Senator Stuart Symington who was instrumental in Kansas City getting an expansion team when the Athletics left for Oakand.

When Charlie Finley pulled the A's from Kansas City after a long fight Sen. Symington called Oakland "the luckiest city since Hiroshima".
One of the best parting lines I've heard from a politician.
