Comments The house was home to Mickey, his parents, Mutt & Lovel, his sister Barbara, and his three bothers; Roy, Ray & Larry In the side-yard of the house is where Mickey first learned to switch hit, as he has told in many a story. Note that the house was originally wood siding, later in years the vinyl siding was added, as well as the smaller structure to the right side and the chainlink fence. The area from the right side of the house to the metal garage was the are that Mickey and his dad and grandfather would practice, using the metal garage as a backstop.
The home is now under 'Re-Construction' putting it back into the original condition when Mickey lived there, the chain link fence, the second structure and the vinyl siding has been removed.
