My favorite of his cards. I sold my set but I had to go pick up a nice copy of it just because.

The reason for Hoyt's perpetual head tilt is that he suffered cervical damage due to his WWII injury. He couldn't straighten his head.
Crazy to think that a WWII vet was still pitching long enough to be included in Topps' most psychedelic set, the 1972 issue. I haven't done the research, but I'll bet he was older than several managers at that point.
