Day 16
Today I give you the 'traded" version of Carl Willey, courtesy of a young lad in the early sixties. Willey was traded to the Mets in 1963, so we know this card hung around in a shoebox for a couple years, at least. I wonder how many other places it's been. Seth Morehead is aptly named, since he looks to have the largest head in the 1961 Topps issue. Does he still have more head under that giant cap, or is he going to pull Freddie Patek from out of there? Morehead's first big league win was memorable, as he shut out Brooklyn on the last day of 1957, making him the last guy to throw a pitch in that borough. Unfortunately, that made him the last pitcher to pitch to Roy Campanella. Don't have much to say about Dan Dobbek, other than he reminds me of Eddie Haskell from Leave it to Beaver. Have an awesome day!
