Happy Birthdy to Mike -- looking great!

Al -- what is that writing on the wall that identifies things? Is that his game bat?

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.

Typo on the cards Born Oct 17 1915 I know that for fact.. Wikipedia has it right as he now has become the oldest living player with the Death of Connie Marrero in April of 2014 at I believe 102. Two days short of his 103rd birthday! April 25th 1911- April 23rd 2014.
