Mickey Mahler, Jay class of '70

Mickey Mahler, class of '70, was the first huge star at John Jay High School. Mickey was a stud left-handed pitcher for the Mustangs and a major league prospect. Jay's first few baseball teams shockingly produced several major league baseball players. Both Mickey and his little brother, Rick Mahler, class of '71, pitched for Jay, piched for Trinity University, and played for the Atlanta Braves.
Mickey's major league debut was in 1977. He pitched eight years in the major leagues, playing for Atlanta, Pittsburgh, California, Montreal, Detroit, Texas, and Toronto.
