Kind of a strange sub-set that celebrated various noteworthy accomplishments at five year intervals from 1952 through 1972: Kiner leading the league in HRs for the seventh straight year, Wills stealing 104 bases, Yaz winning the Triple Crown and Nate Colbert having perhaps the greatest double-header ever (five HRs, thirteen RBI). But the 1957 accomplishment, Bob Keegan's no-hitter, stands out like a sore thumb to me. He is neither well known nor is a no-hitter particularly rare.
Is there a reason I'm missing that he was chosen for the card? Was he friends with someone at Topps? Personally I would have gone with Lew Burdette winning three game in the WS.
