Bill MacDonald for today

One of several players in the set who did not play in the majors in 1952. In McDonald’s case he was serving in the military.

All of the pictures on the cards in this thread seem so ancient looking, but so many of today's MacDonalds look like the photos were snapped yesterday. That's some awesome clarity there!!

Before Al hops in here, it looks like the blue horizontal line at the top of my card (and Ethan's, Dale's, and Dave's) is a recurring print defect.

How does a card with such a defect get a 7 ? 😎

Ken Wood for the last day of May 2021.

Bob, just curious, how long have you had your set? It looks like a large number of your cards are in older PSA holders so did you complete your set a while ago? My set is completely ungraded, and I have had it for over 20 years so there weren't nearly as many graded cards when I was working on it.

John Antonelli to start June

Clint Hartung for today

And my Clint Hartung.

Clint was from Hondo. Texas. I have been there. I bet they called him Hurricane because he blew out of Hondo as fast as he could

Johnny and Clint to catch me up.

COTD for Thursday: Harry Perkowski

Keep the grays coming, Ted!! :)

1952 Topps #145 Joe Haynes

#145 Joe Haynes

Joseph W. "Joe" Haynes. Pitcher for the Washington Senators in 1939-1940 and 1949-1952. 76 wins and 22 saves in 14 MLB seasons. 1948 All Star. 1947 AL ERA leader. Was married to Clark Griffith's daughter. Pitched for the Chicago White Sox in 1941-1948. Spent post-career in the Washington Senators/Minnesota Twins organization, including pitching coach (1953-1955) and eventually executive vice-president.

From his SABR Biography: Pitcher Joe Haynes fell in love with the boss’ daughter at the Washington Senators’ spring training camp in 1938. This didn’t, however, prevent him from being traded two years later to the Chicago White Sox, where he spent eight very productive years. He returned to the Senators in the latter part of his career, until he retired in 1952. His connection with the family did ensure that his playing days were followed by a career in the front office, which ended with his sudden death in 1967 after the team had moved to Minnesota.

Joe was so upset when the owner of the Senators traded him to Chicago in 1941 that he married the guys daughter so they would have o take him back

In Louisville. If you ever get here, the Louisville Slugger Bat Museum is worth a visit

And my 2 Frank House cards.

Bob, I notice your yellow tiger House has no green tint/hue on the neck either.
From what I gather from some info I obtained here, this card is even more tough/rare as most have the green hue?
Curious what your thoughts are on it?

Just a regular House for me

Plain ol' House for me too

I didn't know that, but now I'm even happier with the one I have (it's a very, very, very fine house). ;)

Because there are transition cards I tend to view the House as a print defect rather that a variation, but know others differ. It is interesting that the yellow versus the orange tiger also exist on the gray backs ( it has been posted in other threads), so that may lend weight to the variation view. If transition cards exist in gray as well, and adding in Dale's green slime version, no telling how many Houses it takes to have a full house

:D

And my Mr. Young.

My Bob Young. It's a good thing he wasn't the great pitcher because the Bob Young Award just doesn't sound as good to me.

In 1953 Bob was one of only 4 white MLB players invited to join the Jackie Robinson interracial barnstorm Fall schedule. The others were Hodges, Rosen and Branca. Those players had to sit out some games in the south due to state or local laws prohibiting interracial mixing in such games
