We have a WINNER !…...Thank you Rob M

Cliff Mapes joined the NY Yankees in 1948 and was assigned #3. Babe Ruth's uniform # was retired in August 1948. Mapes then wore #13 in 1948. Mapes wore #7 in 1949 thru 1951.

Mapes was a big guy who could hit the ball a long distance, especially in clutch situations. His greatest achievements, though, were his play in RF. Especially his very accurate rifle arm.
I remember seeing Cliff throw out many runners at Home Plate when I was a kid. Casey Stengel platooned Mapes when he needed a reliable left-handed batter (or a strong arm in RF).

Thanks guys for participating in this quiz.

Hey Rob

No signature....better yet, how's about a reward of a T206 card of your favorite team ?

Very nice gesture Ted! How about I donate it to your next trivia game? Thanks for the entertainment.

P.S. But I’m still searching for the illusive "Ted Z" cut signature if you find one!
