1957 Topps Red Murff - Wow!
This is why I love baseball cards. You get the opportunity to lean something that I wouldn't be able to learn anywhere else. Look at this guy's minor league numbers. Then look at his DOB. Then look at those IPs. What moron was running their system back then? Pitching prospect of this magnitude throwing 289 IPs at 19 years old; 291 IPs at 20; and 303 at 23. Calling his injury a "jinx" is a bit ignorant.

Um…if he was born in 1922, then he was 28 years old when this card 'begins' in 1950.

Still worthy of a shout out though-- the man who signed Nolan Ryan (and Jerry Koosman, among others). According to his SABR bio, he was late to the game because he didn't really play competitively until in the Army during WWII. Apparently a super scout, he also managed and was given credit and thanks for his inspiration in Phil Niekro's HOF induction speech.
