Three - Berra, Mize and Slaugher - were teammates on the Yankees. BERRA, born
Lawrence Peter Berra in St. Louis, Missouri in 1925,was a fine defensive catcher and handler
of pitchers as well as a feared slugger and clutch hitter who led powerful Yankee teams in
RBIs seven years in a row (1949-1955) and was named AL Most Valuable Player three
times. Though famous for swinging at bad pitches, Yogi seldom struck out. He played in a
record 14 World Series - on the winner a record 10 times - and made every All-Star team
from 1948 to 1962. FELLER (1918-2010), born in Van Meter, Iowa in 1918, is the most
winning pitcher in Cleveland Indians history and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in
1962. Though regarded as the fastest pitcher of his day, with a sizzling fastball, "Rapid Robert"
attributed his strikeout records to his curve and slider. Feller set a major league record with
208 walks and led the American League in both strikeouts and wins from 1939 to 1941.
He was voted All-Star from 1938 to 1941, from 1946 to 1948 and in 1950. MIZE
(1913-1993, born in Demorest, Georgia) was a first baseman for the Cardinals and Giants
who led the National League in home runs four times and hit three in a single game on six
occasions. He belted 359 lifetime round-trippers and finished with a .312 average. Mize,
who ended his career with the New York Yankees (1949-1953), was inducted into the
National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1981. ROBINSON (1935-2019) was National League
Rookie of the Year in 1956, Most Valuable Player in 1961, and American League Most
Valuable Player and Triple Crown winner in 1966. He led the Orioles to an upset sweep of
the Dodgers in the Oriole's first-ever World Series in 1966, gaining World Series MVP honors
in the process. The 11-time All-Star became Major League Baseball's first black manager
with the Cleveland Indians in 1975. Robinson was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1982.
SLAUGHTER (1916-2002, born in Roxboro, NC) was a left-handed batter who hit .300 or
better 10 times. He led the National League with 52 doubles in 1939 and with 188 hits in
1942, and led in triples in 1942 and 1949. He captured the league RBI title with 130 in
1946. Slaughter was the leader of and top hitter (.318) on the 1942 World Championship
Cardinals. In 1985, he was elected to the Hall of Fame. Lightly toned. Slaughter, Mize and
Robinson signatures are faint but legible. Light discoloration under Mize and Robinson
