Let's see some Jimmie Foxx cards
I have always been a big fan of "The Beast". The more I read about him the more I believe he is an underappreciated slugger.
On July 19, 1932, Foxx's 39th homer put him on pace to surpass Ruth's 60 homers. But the legend of that season grows deeper. Some historians have researched old records and discovered that in 1932 Foxx hit nine balls against screens in St. Louis and Cleveland that weren't there when Babe hit 60. Foxx also hit two homers that season in games that were rained out, and the homers disappeared from he record books. Add them up and Jimmie Foxx would have had 69 homers that season. Think of the impact, good or bad, that would have had on Roger Maris. I believe from what I have read that chasing 61 was really bad on Maris' health down the stretch. Interesting indeed.

Man O Man....those are some nice cards already shown. Jimmy was certainly prolific in different card series. Pardon the other cards.....(I'm lazy.)
