[MorganMiller1926]

Although major baseball card companies issued cards of the following players pictured as Phillies, none of these four players ever played for the Phillies and 3 of the 4 never even played one game in the major leagues. Three of the four can rightly be called members of the Bill Sharman Society, which is to say thay THEY WERE BRIEFLY ON A MAJOR LEAGUE ROSTER DURING THE COURSE OF A SEASON, BUT NEVER GOT INTO A MAJOR LEAGUE GAME. This is because Bill Sharman, before he went on to a Basketball Hall Of Fame career with the Boston Celtics, had been a two sports star at college: basketball and baseball. As a first baseman he advanced through the Brooklyn Ddodgers organization and he was briefly on the Dodgers roster in 1951, without getting into any regular season games, before his basketball caree blossomed.
The exception is Mike Sandlock, a catcher who had played for the Boston Braves, Brooklyn Dodgers and Pittsburgh Pirates in the 1940s and early '50s. Topps issued a 1954 card of him as a Phillies and it's true he had been acquired by the team from the Pirates for catching depth. However, at the end of Spring Training, Sandlock was shipped to the Phillies AAA team and never played one game for the Phils. At 38, nearly 39, he decided to retire at the end of that season, without reaching the majors for a final time.
Sandlock (1915-2016) did live to be 100 years and 6 months of age and was the oldest living major leaguer for quite a while (according to Wikipedia).
