It had to be disappointing for a kid in 1960 to rip open a pack and come across one of these cards with the disembodied heads of three or four old guys. But the coaches subset (numbers 455-470) has some significant historic figures you want find anywhere else on a Topps card. The Cubs card, for instance, includes Charlie Root -- who gave up Babe Ruth's alleged "called shot" HR in the 1932 World Series and was the last person born in the 19th century to pitch in a major league game.
