Mike "Dead Pull" Collins

Height: 6-foot-3
Weight: 235
Throws: Right
Bats: Right
Age: 61
Home: Brookfield, Wisconsin
Birthplace: Waukesha, Wisconsin
Explanation of nickname:  When I realized that everyone on the team had nicknames I had to come up with something that would be descriptive of me. I chose the name of Dead Pull because of my tendency to constantly drive the ball down the third base line - Hence Dead Pull
Occupation: Punch press operator
Favorite MLB team(s): Atlanta Braves, Milwaukee Brewers
Favorite historical player(s): Babe Ruth, Warren Spahn, Henry Aaron and Shoeless Joe Jackson (a travesty that needs to be corrected).
How became involved with vintage base ball: Read an article in a 50-plus newspaper. I proceeded to contact Handlebar Hetzel to learn more about the game. He invited me to a couple of tryouts. And as they say the rest is history.
