It is. Well done. Mikkelsen pitched only ten games for the Cubs; before that he had been in the WS for the Yankees, and afterwards had a few good years for the Dodgers.
It was yet another pointless 1960’s acquisition. Later he was traded for Jack Lamabe, who was dealt for the return of Paul Popovich.
I was fairly certain this was never going to happen. Pouring over images of the late 60’s baseball cards looking for those ridiculous glasses pays off!
Ted Lilly's father.

KDoggers - January 29, 2009
DINGDINGDING!!!
It is. Well done. Mikkelsen pitched only ten games for the Cubs; before that he had been in the WS for the Yankees, and afterwards had a few good years for the Dodgers.

Al Yellon - January 29, 2009
Awesome!
I was fairly certain this was never going to happen. Pouring over images of the late 60’s baseball cards looking for those ridiculous glasses pays off!
KDoggers - January 29, 2009

carmen_fanzone - January 29, 2009
Remember when Cookie and Peanuts Lowry used to coch the bases? What a combination
Cookie and Peanuts. You just don’t see baseball nicknames like that anymore.
willie mays hayes' gloves - January 29, 2009
no...
“Cookie” and “Peanuts” are nicknames you are more likely to see at a “ranch” in/near Vegas.
