John Mitchell #207


This week...John Mitchell! Not the Watergate conspirator, but the pitcher from Tennessee who spent part of a few seasons for the Mets and one season with Baltimore. As an 18 year old, John survived 20+ hours at open sea, floating on a minnow bucket following a shipwreck. In that incident 2 people passed away, including John's friend and teammate, Anthony Latham. John was able to come back, make the big leagues, and spend 15 years in baseball.
