Biography Mullen attended the University of Oregon, where he was a 5-foot-8 backup guard on the Ducks team that beat Ohio State 46-33 in the first NCAA title game at Northwestern University in 1939. "I was the shortest Tall Fir," Mullen joked in the Times interview. But baseball was Mullen's sport, and he began a professional career in 1939 in the Detroit Tigers' organization with the Class D Alexandria (Louisiana) Aces. He was playing for the Seattle Rainiers in September of 1943 when he saw a headline in the newspaper: "Mullen sold to the Phillies." With many major-leaguers off to serve in World War II, teams were scrambling for players. Mullen, a left-handed-hitting second baseman, played the 1944 season with the Phillies, hitting .267 in 118 games. Mullen was drafted into the army after the 1944 season, serving at Fort Lewis, and never again returned to the major leagues. After retiring from baseball, he forged a second career teaching zoology and biology at Olympia High School for 27 years. Source: Larry Stone, Staff Reporter The Seattle Times
