Love this thread idea. Below are three Japanese cards from the late 1940s. L to R, Henry "Bozo" Wakabiyashi, Tetsuharu Kawakami, and Hiroshi Oshita. The text on the back is paired with numbers 1-12, and says things like "hit to left field", "hit to right field", "ground out to shortstop", things like that. What it is is that some kid came up with a dice game, and put it on the back of his baseball cards.
