According to Wikipedia Grady is still alive at the ripe age of 88 so it is possible. I actually knew an older man in town that knew Grady Hatton from when he played for the Reds. He probably would have known if he, but unfortunately he passed a few years back.

It's nice to see you have the patience to pick up these cards
at fair prices, or even bargains. So many start a set and they seem like their in a race to complete and totally overpay for some of the cards. Ebay is filled with these types. I don't think I'd enjoy the set if I bought the cards in bulk. |

I had no idea Bob Purkey was a five-time All Star...you apparently do learn something every day...

You usually learn that kind of stuff when you're trying to buy it. The dealer will say something like, "Well I know what the book value is, but this guy was a 5 time All-Star!"

I think the rule requiring that at least one player from each team was in effect then, and the NL manager probably wanted another arm in his bullpen, so the Buckos got their rep at a time when Clemente, Maz and Groat were still a little too young to beat out more popular guys in the voting. But, hey, what about Roy Face?
