Posted By: <b>David McDonald</b><p>Roger-<br>What a beautiful array of NY Giants cards. My favorite is the Thomson card. Aside from being a neatly composed image, complete with the American flag, Bobby Thomson had just put his name into eternal baseball history a few months before, and he is a <i>mensch</i> to boot. He is one of my great baseball heroes.<br><img src="http://photos.imageevent.com/kawika_o_ka_pakipika/bbbofsfirstclass/holygrailcards/The%20Shot%20Heard%20Round%20the%20World.jpg" alt="[linked image]">

Posted By: <b>Dave Hornish</b><p>Koslo, ready to fire one across the plate. I must say all of the Giants cards look pretty nice though.

Posted By: <b>Michael Steele</b><p>They all look nice. Tough to pick one. I am going with Sal "The Barber" Maglie. Probably just delivered some chin music. I also agree that Thomson in a proud moment after the "shot heard round the world" is a good choice. Great team!

Posted By: <b>Paul Carek</b><p>Where's Herman Franks? Oh, right. He's "doing something for Durocher" in the clubhouse involving a telescope...<br><br>As I just acquired one, I'm going to go with the Irvin. Love that sky blue-and-batting cage background.<br><br><br>

Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p>Willie Mays because he is one of my all time favorites ( and I need to get that card !! ) but also the Thompson because of what else was said above about his immortality !! The back of the Branca says 'experts agree it was a good pitch' in reference to the famous hit. Here you go-<br><br> <a href="http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u284/JOHNNYHARMONICA/?action=view&current=52brancatmps046.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u284/JOHNNYHARMONICA/52brancatmps046.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

Posted By: <b>Todd Schultz</b><p>Wes Westrum. Great pose, love the furled brow--the card almost looks 3-D to me.
