He played major league baseball from 1943 to 1957 as catcher for the Cincinnati Reds and the Philadelphia Phillies, appeared in the 1950 World Series, and was selected in 1949 as an All-Star. After retiring, Seminick worked for the Philadelphia organization for the rest of his life. First, as a coach with the Phillies (1957-58), then managed 11 Phillies' minor-league teams (1959-66, 1970-73), and returned as a coach for the Phillies (1967-69). After that, he scouted and served as a roving minor-league instructor for the Phillies (1974 to mid-1980s). Notably, ninety of the players he managed or coached eventually played in the major leagues. In the 1990s, Seminick served as a catching instructor for Philadelphia in spring training and in the Florida Instructional League. Paul Edison Minner (Lefty) was born in 1923 in New Wilmington, PA and died in 2006 in LeMoyne, PA. He played major league baseball from 1946 to 1956 as pitcher for the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Chicago Cubs, and appeared in the 1949 World Series. After baseball, Minner worked as a chief of field investigation for the State Insurance Department in Harrisburg, PA. SKU: XP12742
