1933 Goudey #134: Sam Rice
Few thoughts regarding this hall-of-famer:
< He was 27 before he played his first full season in MLB. < Some time in his mid-twenties, acquired the nickname "Sam". Nobody knows how. < Oblivious (as was everyone at the time) to the "magic significance" that would eventually be attached to "HoF milestones", he retired in 1934 thirteen hits shy of 3,000. His batting average in 1934 was .293. < Finally, here is a guy who at age 21 lost his wife, two daughters, two sisters, and both parents in a tornado, yet is pictured here near the end of his hall of fame career, in front of a cloudless bright blue sky. At the time, nobody in the public knew anything about how the tragic tornado affected Sam's family! https://www.net54baseball.com/attach...1&d=1674567148 https://www.net54baseball.com/attach...1&d=1674567151
