It was a request by me. My father actually did (and does/would) look like Mick. Very similar age as well.
I think I've told the story of friends of mine, when getting into baseball card collecting in the mid-70s, running across Mick's cards for the first time, saying to me, "Wow... Mickey Mantle looks like Mr. Williams."
So I made the request.
As a player, he was "created" to play like Joe Gordon rather than Mick, since my father played 2B through high school and into the military.
