Seeing an older brother of a buddy who had a wrinkled up 76 card with him as a Brewer seemed outrageous...that kid was a GOD. My first Hank was a 69 Topps card I got when I was 15...I will never forget that...felt like I had arrived...




Every time I see this card I just can't believe he let a photographer take his picture with his hair like this, classic hat head. I would have flat out refused!

Not technically a card but a lithograph sold at the stick in 1960…

For those not familiar, the reference to reeg is referring to Bill Rigney, the manager at the time.

And naturally, mocking a player’s accent isn’t something that is encouraged these days.

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

I might not be shocked, but I crack up every time I see this card.

Default 1952 Topps Clyde King
What shocks me is that "screwball artist" Clyde was actually able to find the direction of home plate. He had a 14-7 mark with 33 SO and just 50 walks in 1951.

He loved rain delays...because there was nothing but wet Beavers.

Thank you! I'll be here all week.
