I've got no need for the rest of the graphs. No great HOF'ers here, but maybe some tough signers or guys that you need for your team collections. Make me an offer for any or all, pics can be scanned upon request. I have the following available:

Some sigs are on one page, others are a couple to a page, etc. I will make scans of whomever you want to see.

Take care,

Here are the scans of the Mizell and Sisler for the member that requested it:




Wow, Mizell was an interesting person. From Wikipedia:

Mizell was born and reared in Leakesville, Mississippi, but gained his sobriquet playing baseball in nearby Vinegar Bend, Alabama. He graduated from high school in Leakesville, Mississippi, in 1949. He was a professional pitcher between 1949 and 1963, although he served in the United States Army from 1953 to 1954. During his Major League Baseball career, he played for the St. Louis Cardinals (1952-1960), Pittsburgh Pirates (1960-1962), and New York Mets (1962). Mizell was known as "Vinegar Bend Mizell" during his major league career.

In a nine-season career, Mizell was 90-88 with a 3.85 ERA in 268 games, 230 of those starts. He pitched 61 complete games, including 15 shutouts. He allowed 654 earned runs and struck out 918 in 1528 and 2/3 innings pitched.

After leaving baseball, Mizell worked in sales and public relations for the Pepsi-Cola company in Winston-Salem until 1967.


Mizell in politics
Mizell entered politics in the 1960s as well. He was elected to the Davidson County board of commissioners in 1966. He was the chairman of the board for the two years when he was a member.

In 1968, Mizell, a Republican, was elected to a seat, in the 91st United States Congress; re-elected twice, he served a total of six years in the national legislature. A previous Republican candidate, G. Fred Steele, Jr., had polled 46.9 percent of the vote in District 5 in 1966; Steele's showing helped prepare the district for a party transformation in 1968. Mizell defeated Democratic nominee Smith Bagley, an R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company official, 84,905 (52.4 percent) to 77,112 (47.6 percent). The previous District 5 representative, Democrat Nick Galifianakis, was moved to District 4 for the 1968 elections. Mizell was the first republican elected to the 5th district since 1908. He was one of the most popular congressmen in Washington and one of the most conservative.

In 1970, Mizell defeated Democrat James G. White, 68,937 (58.1 percent) to 49,663 (41.9 percent). In 1972, he trounced former liberal Arkansas Congressman Brooks Hays, who had moved to North Carolina, 101,375 (64.8 percent) to 54,986 (35.2 percent). Hays had lost his seat in Arkansas to fellow Democrat Dale Alford in 1958, when he supported school desegregation during the Little Rock crisis of 1957.

Mizell may have thought that his 1972 margin would insulate him from further Democratic challenges in 1974. If so, he did not reckon with the impact of Watergate on Republican House members. Mizell was unseated by Democrat Stephen L. Neal, 64,634 (52 percent) to 59,182 (47.6 percent).

After the stinging 1974 defeat, in which Mizell polled less than three fifths of the total votes that he had received in 1972, President Gerald R. Ford, Jr., a former House colleague, appointed him as Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Economic Development, a post he held from March 1975 to May 1976.

In 1976, Mizell challenged Neal and again lost, 83,129 (45.6 percent) to 98,789 (54.2 percent). Neal, a strong supporter of Democratic presidential nominee Jimmy Carter, polled almost the same raw vote as Mizell had four years earlier, when he was running on the Nixon--Agnew slate.

In 1981, Mizell was named Assistant Secretary of Agriculture for Governmental and Public Affairs in the Reagan administration, and as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Intergovernmental Affairs, Department of Veterans Affairs in the George H. W. Bush administration. Mizell also worked as executive director of the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports
