ReplySorry to hear of Mickey’s passing. I was a playmate of Mickey’s when he and I both lived on Jackson Street in New Athens. I was lucky enough to be able to accompany him to St. Louis Browns games occasionally when his dad was pitching for the Washington Senators and they would be in St. Louis..
