That was a very cool read!!! The wide variety of action shots really made up for the boringly white appearance of the 1973 cards. I especially like how you pointed out the ill-placed 'NY' on Nettles' jersey. (It's always made me laugh.) The Brohamer, Grich, Belanger and Duffy cards are each very cool on their own, mainly because they aren't traditional shots, and do a fantastic job of really pulling you into the action, as if you had a seat in the bleachers that day. Love it! Good work!

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
