Though somewhat forgotten now, Paul Richards was very influential as a manager and later general manager in the 50s, 60s, and into the 70s.

Even though I have completed my 1953 Bowman Color set, I'm still learning its intricacies. For example, when shopping for #41 Sammy White I noticed that it was more expensive than other ungraded commons in excellent or better condition. Well, here is #41 Sammy White

Crawled to home plate on June 11, 1952. Which surely pissed off Satchel Paige
