Here is a newly imagined card of HOF'er Tony La Russa (with the spelling of his surname mirroring the usage on his 'regular' 1972 Topps card*). To say finding an action shot of Tony on the Braves is tough, is like saying finding a picture of the New Jersey Devil and a Chupacabra enjoying a mojito together on the boardwalk is easy. One doesn't seem to exist, so I pulled out all the stops to create something that could possibly seem realistic...

*I call this type of inconsistent spelling of a name by the card companies a Skewedonym in my 'The New Directory of Collectorisms' thread on the main page.

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