1972 Topps - Leave it to Billy
I was considering putting together this set in "proof" form and was looking at the various cards. 1972 was the last "large" set before successive sets were pared to a more manageable size.
I just noticed this card (see Martin's left hand on bat). Leave it to Billy.... Has anyone else noticed this before? Z

Yes it's part of a long tradition dating back to Old Hoss Radbourn (This is a vintage board anyway)

As George Costanza once said "That waitress, when she pointed at the menu, she gave me the FINGER!"

the story I have heard since I always liked this card was that the photographer asked billy to give him a managerial pose, that's what he got.

Why is Larry grinning?
Hadn't noticed Billy's gesture before, but I was aware of Larry's finger pointing on this Sports Illustrated cover:
