If it says Bruins, my guess is it's Cubs related in some way.

The cartoon could be attributed to Bill Gallo who penned for the NY Daily News. Since Topps was based in Brooklyn at the time could be a good fit there. And the article itself would probably be from the 1960 season for the cards to be printed in 1961...

Well done, indeed!!!!! Very freaking cool.

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