Biography
NEAL “MICKEY” FINN, 29, BALL PLAYER IS DEAD
2d Baseman of Phillies, Who Was Traded From Brooklyn, Dies After Ulcer Operation
ALLENTOWN, Pa., July 7 (AP) – Neal “Mickey” Finn, second baseman of the Philadelphia National League baseball club, died in a hospital here today following an operation performed on June 25 for chronic duodenal ulcers. He was 29 years old. His home was at 241 East Eighty-first Street, New York City.
Mr. Finn came to the Phillies from Brooklyn last Winter with Infielder Jackie Warner, Pitcher Austin Moore, and a cash sum, in return for pitcher Ray Benge. His early Spring showing was promising, but the ailment that caused his death soon began to effect his play. In the few games in which he played he batted .237. His place in the line-up has been taken by Jackie Warner.
While still a boy at the school of St. Ignatius Loyola, Eighty-fourth Street and Park Avenue, “Mickey” Finn showed exceptional skill on the diamond. After graduation he played in the Catholic League, and in 1922 signed with Vernon of the Coast League, later called the Mission Club. In 1929 he batted .347 on the Coast and the next Winter Brooklyn paid $50,000 for him and Gordon Slade, who is now with the St. Louis Cardinals.
