Mickey Tettleton was known for being an offensive-minded catcher and being able to crush the ball when he made contact, which was rare because he struck out all the fucking time. But he will be remembered as a big-leaguer for his unique, upright batting stance and a wad of chewing tobacco he kept in his cheek.

Tettleton played 14 years, spending time with Oakland, Baltimore, Detroit and Texas. He hit 30+ homeruns three-straight years with the Tigers, from 1991-93.

Tettleton was last seen in a Texas Rangers uniform, where he played 17 games in 1997. Many witnesses saw him driving away from the Ballpark in Arlington at approximately 11 p.m. on September 3, 1997. He was driving a black Dodge RAM pickup with big red dice hanging from the rear view mirror.

An artist rendering, which takes takes age, weathering and time into account, has Tettleton looking like this today.

Tettleton is large and looks like a former ballplayer. He will likely be wearing a smile, but may have a hole where his cheek once was, making it tough to smile or do anything with his mouth. He has no known piercings. He has a tattoo of Tucan Sam on his left ankle and a heart with a K in the center on the small of his back.
