I'll add my birthday greetings to the pile!
Funny thing about that 1953 Topps card - Mike is listed as a catcher, and pictured wearing a catcher's mitt, but doesnt it look like he's playing the infield?

I posted the interview with Sandlock on Twitter and MiLB(minor league ball) tweeted it to their 93,700+ followers, so Mr Sandlock is getting some notice today. He last played for Syracuse in 1954(The Chiefs also tweeted it)

happy birthday
happy birthday! I didn't look this up before, but Mike played on the '53 Pirates with my uncle Pete Castiglione (passed away in 2010). They also were both born in Connecticut. I bet Mike has some great stories.

You are correct Mike would tell me that all the time they would play together when they were younger at the Bible St field (which is still there today)..

Also noted is that he is depicted in a Phillies uniform on his 1954 Topps card...yet he never played for them.
