Blair Benson Beatty - Baltimore Orioles Mid 1950’s

[eliminator]

My friends are looking for a baseball card of Blair Benson Beatty who played for the Baltimore Orioles organization in the mid 50’s.
I can only find information that he played minor league baseball in 1954 and 1955. My friends think he made it to the major leagues but had a short lived career due to a bad injury.
They are looking for a baseball card of Mr. Beatty to give to his grandson. There is not a lot of information about Mr. Beatty and I could not find where he had a baseball card. If you are aware that he had a baseball card I would appreciate any information. Thank you in advance, Tom

Never played in the majors and never made it past low level Aberdeen (South Dakota) and the Provincial League. No cards were produced but might have a shot at a scorecard, team photo or game program.

Don't ask me how I found this, but the south Dakota State Historical Society has a big collection of Aberdeen items. Including looks like a 1955 team photo. And I wouldn't be surprised if they had something else. You should contact them.

They could also get an account to newspapers.com

I have found A TON of personal family history and baseball information through that site.
