Daniel BrettaI was watching Pride Of The Yankees today and got to wondering if this is the first appearance of a baseball card in a movie. When Gehrig is young he tries to "buy" his way into a game with the neighborhood kids by giving them his cards. He pulls out a stack of cards from his pocket and starts naming off players he'll give up (Tinker, Wagner, Collins, et cetera) and holds one back. One of the kids asks who he's holding back and he shows them a 1915 Sporting News(?) Ruth. Anyone else ever notice this?
