[Mr. Mojo]

I predict big things for this “Pee Wee” Reese rookie.

Perhaps a HOF induction.

Mahan lined a three bagger off the right field wall to score Pinky May.. I’d forgotten about that.

The Yankees sure aren’t the team they were last year.

As for Pinky May .... he played five seasons in the majors, all with the Philadelphia Phillies. He is one of the few players who played at least five seasons and had at least 100 games and 400 at-bats in each season.

May signed with the Yankees in 1932 out of Indiana University and was drafted by the Phillies in October 1938. He broke into the majors in 1939, playing in 135 games and leading the league in sacrifice hits. He made the All-Star team in 1940.

He was in the Navy during World War II after his major league baseball career.

After his playing career ended, Pinky May was a minor league skipper, managing more than a dozen clubs. He compiled a record of 1658-1560 over 27 seasons (1947-1972) in the minors.

In 1970 his son, catcher Milt May made it to the majors.

He was inducted into the Indiana Baseball Hall of Fame in 2003.
