JUST IN CASE you wish to know the meaning behind this unusual photo Topps used in 1952, Gus Zernial had just hit 2 home runs in 3 consecutive games, from May 13-16, 1951. With this achievement, a photographer came up with the idea of attaching 6 balls to a bat, and having Gus hold it. flashing A-OK! As Gus's SABR article reported, Ozark Ike hit another home run in the next game; thus, Gus crushed 7 homers in 4 consecutive games! WOW!
