MICKEY VERNON, A GENTLEMAN OF BASEBALL by Max Silberman

During a career which lasted four decades (1939-1960) Mickey Vernon played more games at first base than anyone until Eddie Murray passed his record. He won two batting titles (1946 and 1953) to become the favorite player of President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Phillies broadcaster Harry Kalas. Mickey Vernon wore the uniforms of the Cleveland Indians, Boston Red Sox, Milwaukee Braves and Pittsburgh Pirates but is best remembered for his many years with the Washington Senators. He led the league in doubles three times and had 2,495 hits in his career. He was also considered one of the finest fielding first basemen in the game.

When it came time to retire as a player, Vernon became manager of the Washington Senators and later served as a manager in the minor leagues, a hitting instructors and a major league scout for several clubs.
