Mickey Burnett Forum

Upon doing a Birth States/Provinces search last night I came across two different checklists for what appears to be the same person listed above. The other checklist is Burnett, Escal

I guess a situation like this would require some research. The birth date is off by 10 days though the birth city/state is the same. The time frame in which each played is pretty much the same. The date of death is the same though.

The name Mickey Burnett appers to be a nickname.

I thought this to be rather unusual. Probably needs to be consolidated.

They are indeed the same person. I linked the one Escal card to the Mickey profile and deleted Escal. 

Ok. Thank you.

I really appreciate you catching and having this corrected.  Being one of the few Mickey Burnett colllectors in the Universe, it meant a lot to me.

Thanks, Ora

Did some checking on Baseball Reference. He is listed there as Escal Burnett, no reference to Mickey at all.All of his stats are from the minor leagues so he never even got a cup of coffee in the big leagues.

Ora is this a "same name" collection?

Yes!  The player is Ora Escal (Mickey) Burnett.  Played in the PCL in the late 1940s.  I collect him because, as far as I know, he is the only player that has(had) my given name. 

To OrainPA, glad to be of help and bring a bit of joy to you. As a native Arkansan, I was curious of the players on the Birth States/Provinces list from my home state that I had never heard of. I only knew of one player from Eureka Springs, that being Pat Burrell. I thought it to be unusual when I saw there were two more from there with the same last name and both had the same date of death. I said to myself wait a minute something's not right here.

I do realize that your gratitude is that for the given name of Ora, to which yes, it is not a common name I have heard of in sports.

On a side note, I did get to personally meet another Burnett on the list, that being A.J. who is from my hometown of North Little Rock. He knew some people I used to work with back home who invited me to a party one night. This happened to be right after he received word that he had been traded from the Mets to the Marlins for Al Leiter.
