Pitcher Hugh Mulch lost 20 games twice with the Phillies, then, with the nickname "Losing Pitcher," was the first major leaguer drafted into US military service, serving in the Army for four years.  Though he spent many years as a scout for the team, he only spent one year on the field as a coach, 1970, in which he was pitching coach.  His signature here is fantastic, a thick fountain pen signature grading GEM MINT 10 by PSA/DNA.  The card originates from the Shibe Park collection of autographed cards, an original owner collection carefully collected by a teenage boy who, in 1939 and 1940, obtained many autographs from players arriving at the train station near Shibe Park, and continued for many years to obtain signatures in person and through the mail.
