I think Gordon had a significant role in baseball in Texas when the red border set was released.
And Joe, I'm believing your baseball box idea. At first I thought the box a bit rectangular, but it does look consistent with a cube, and it is the size of a baseball box.

Frank,
I was not putting down his average I was just saying it was low but low or high these cards all tell a story and that is the part I enjoy.And I thank-you for the info .
