This one's a bit funny, as the picture was taken inside of The Polo Grounds when Cannizzaro was on the Mets...but the last season the Amazin's played there was in 1963 (before moving on to Shea). Since this card was issued 1969, that is a seriously long stretch of time. He was probably an old man by then, but Topps apparently decided to reverse-Dorian Grey him. :rolleyes:

Albert Bee, that is Yankee Stadium in which Mr. Kennedy is standing.

hi jacking this comment and thread slightly -- there has been great research done on how many photos (especially in the early series) are recycled from previous photos or used older photos. Great background on this from various sources
