Was flipping through some of my oldest lineup cards yesterday and decided to take them out and take a group picture.
Seeing them together is a reminder of how little regard they were given. Meant to be used and tossed. Today, 80-90 years later, the few that remained are generally worn, ripped, stapled, stained, dirty, faded etc. For me, they tell the story of baseball in a way that almost no other item can match. The player names, the substitutions, the manager's signature etc. All from in the action. Lineup cards in the photo range from 1933-1944. 4 are WOrld Series linup cards. Manager signatures include Walter Johnson, Connie Mack, Joe Cronin, Joe McCarthy, Bill Terry and Bucky Harris. Some prominent names include Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Stan Musial, Jummie Foxx, Lefty Grove, Earl Averill, Mel Ott, Ernie Lombardi, Leo Durocher and many others both remembered and forgotten.

Excited about this pickup. Never seen a Robin Yount rookie season lineup card before.

Nice! Haren had a really strong career. 150+ wins, ERA+ 0f 109, 3 time All-Star. Do you collect Haren particularly? I think I have a couple of Haren win lineup cards from over the years. (Manager lineup cards.)
