Not a card exactly, but would eventually become one!

I just want to say this has been a fantastic thread. Lots of tough cards I've never seen before. As a side note, with the next post, I believe this thread becomes the 3rd most popular in terms of replies since the "new" board started around 2009.

It is a great thread, and with this Batter Up of Moe Berg I just slyly caught the coveted spot.

"This Babe is pissed"



George is getting angry...

Babe Pinelli, as seen in this W573 Type 3 card (cardboard stock instead of paper, larger and machine cut borders instead of hand cut) also was a hothead as a player, but kept his cool and exacted revenge for 22 years as a MLB umpire.

Evidently his backside was also rather large, as can be seen in these scans.

About time for a good looking Obak, this one a 1911 of Jess Garrett.

Who gave up the final hit in Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak?











He is a Canadian of Lithuanian descent.











(Some of) His 1940 Play Ball baseball cards contain a very early advertisement for Superman Gum:

"Millions of young folks asked for SUPERMAN CARD GUM. Now it's on the way here. This new Adventure and Taste Thrill awaits you at your dealers. Ask for it. Watch for it."














Joseph V. "Joe" Krakauskas. Pitcher with the Washington Senators in 1937-1940. 26 wins and 4 saves in 7 MLB seasons. His most productive season was 1936 with Washington as he posted a 11-17 record with a 4.60 ERA in 217.1 innings pitched. He finished his career with the Cleveland Indians in 1941-1942 and 1946. He is best remembered for giving up the final hit in Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak in 1941.
