Happy birthday, Mickey Rutner

March 18, 2008

Front CoverThe muse behind Eliot Asinof’s novel, Man on Spikes, would have been 88 this year.

Rutner, who had the distinction of being the oldest Jewish ex-major leaguer, enjoyed the proverbial “cup of coffee” with the Philadelphia As in 1927. He passed away last October.
