It's the year of the Leap Day...show your cards of ballplayers leaping

Here's some to start things off. I think there used to be a colony in Hawaii for such cards.
In an effort for inclusion, so that the T206 crowd doesn't feel left out, I am sharing a pair of leaping (we assume that's what he is doing) McQuillen lizards, and let's get non-basebally with a T218 as well. Brian |

A powerful leap! The back of Ewry's T230 notes that he was "almost a chronic invalid" before he began athletic work.

Great thread! I'm a big fan of cards that show a player completely airborne. Here's a 1934 Batter Up (likely produced in 1936) of Phil Cavaretta, who was just a teenager at the time, defying gravity.

C'mon guys. Where's Pee Wee?

Love the Aaron. Not somebody I expected to be in this thread. |

In my opinion, the best looking card extant…

Does this count?
Attachment 612102 Ugh! I even made myself groan with that one. |

I always think of these two used in the Topps 1956 cards. These were the "in action" photo in the background.

One small round card for collector, one Ju-Ju leap for collectorkind.

Joe Gordon must have had some serious hops!

Here's an E92 Magee that fits the bill

Nice cards, guys.
If we're letting some postwar stuff in on this one, someone should have the '51 Topps Connie Mack of Honus to post... maybe? |

Ross was somewhat of a leapy fellow...here's his much more common E220 National Caramel.
Brian (not mine, but my example has the same type of appeal) |

Two frog-like subjects for you:
1. Leaping Dave Frishberg, writer/musician for "Van Lingle Mungo," as well as Eddie Basinski, one of the players he named therein. 2. Bigger look at the original Ebbets Field wall seen behind 1956 Clemente. |

The 1958 Topps football set has some great leaping images, and this one of McHan has been a favorite of mine for a long time.

My leapers.

Rebel Oakes leaping is such a classic image, definitely on my checklist. And Davids Mantle/Clemente images are classic, never get tired of seeing them.
Great stuff, keep it coming. |

Found a new-to-me leaper, OF Bob Nieman of the Orioles. Check out that water hose stretched across the warning track! Hope he landed safely from the jump.
