I am impressed anyone remembered these. Thought I knew the ‘59 set inside and out and did not remember that Don Gross.

I think that he means 500 games as a pitcher. Otherwise, Ty Cobb pitched 3 games and Lefty O'Doul pitched 34.

Opening up a pack and finding a Greg Maddux or Randy Johnson batting card had to suck as much as opening up a pack of 55 Bowman’s and finding an ump card or opening a pack of 59s and finding the Ford Frick or Warren Giles card.

Or those 72s that just have a trophy!

This one is pretty awesome. Just bought it on COMC. Shows Jim Abbott in batting stance with bare arm.

In the spirit of keeping this thread alive and because with the new universal DH rule, we will almost never see pitchers batting again (with the rare exception of someone like Ohtani);
here is a 2022 Topps #330 short-print of Jacob deGrom at the plate.

Cool old thread...

Can't believe this one was never posted...was one of the last cards I needed back in the day completing this set...

I was born in the early 90's, so I was prime baseball card age when the relic cards came out. I really loved the bat relics of pitchers for some reason.
