Hi Howard

Cliff Mapes is the guy.....and yes, he wore #7 before Mickey.

But, there is one more significant fact which completes this quiz.

Hmm...when I hear the name Cliff Mapes, I think back to The Great American Baseball Card Flipping, Trading, and Bubble Gum Book and the author's contention that he couldn't pull Ted Williams from a pack, but no matter what (please forgive the double negative) he couldn't NOT pull a Cliff Mapes from a pack.

I saw Cliff (on TV) make some unbelievable throwing plays in his days with the Yankees. He would pick-off a runner at Homeplate with a 300-foot (on the fly) throw.



In 1935, George Selkirk replaced Babe Ruth in Right-Field for the Yankees, and Selkirk wore #3 thru 1942.
