This website is a tribute to one of the most colorful baseball players of the 20th Century.  Mickey Rivers always played the game with a smile on his face and he never ceased to surprise or entertain fans.  Over his 15 year career he won 2 World Series, was an All-Star, received numerous honors, and was the consummate lead-off man.  Through his hard work, hustle, and thought provoking quotes he always drew attention.  "Mick The Quick" will never be forgotten.  

 

         Mick's autograph is a popular collectible but have you ever seen his original signature from 1970?  The Quick One was formally known as "John" outside of his family circle.
