"John Franklin “Johnny” Sain (September 25, 1917 - November 7, 2006) has the unique distinction of being the final pitcher that Babe Ruth faced in his career in 1935 and the first hurler that Jackie Robinson would face in the big leagues after breaking the color barrier in 1947"

Didn't know that ... very cool! Not to mention Sain had a huge impact on baseball AFTER he retired too :-) Great card!
