Default 1952 topps fun topic Larry Jansen
Larry has seven fingers up on his 1952 topps. There is a specific answer to this. Would any of you like to speculate as to why?

Tom the seven is correct. Your hint is he is proud of each of them.

He had a total of ten kids, but I'm guessing that he had seven at the time that photo was taken.

He had 7 kids by the time he was 32. I bet he loved being on the road!

Correct the seven signified his enthusiasm for his children. Eventually totaling ten.

The fun part of this card is ... he had 5 fingers up on his left hand and 2 on his right in one original photo (obviously taken in the same shoot), and switched hands for the photo used on the Topps card.

Cheers,
Patrick

I wouldn't want to see his card if he ended up with 11 kids.

The guy on the Cubs that had 6 fingers on each hand should have done that for a card...can't remember his name, it wasn't that long ago.

Antonio Alfonseca. It was hereditary, something called polydactly.
