Brian H (misunderestimated)I don't really think of Hanlon's Old Judge (or Sparky Anderson's 1959 Topps card for that matter) as his "Rookie Card", because he plainly wasn't a Hall of Fame player. He was a Hall of Fame manager who had a fair playing career before Managing. The same would hold for, among others, Connie Mack, Tommy Lasorda and Casey Stengel.
Obviously, as with all things Rookie card related great minds may reasonably differ...
