Don’t forget the fact Willie Mays makes a cameo appearance. He is who is sliding into home.
Someone posted the original photo used on the 1956 Topps artwork for the Hank Aaron card. You can tell it's definitely Willie Mays and not Hank Aaron in the action photo.

Wes Westrum is sure taking his sweet ass time getting to the plate to tell Willie whether to slide or not!!

Looks like Mays was thrown out by a mile.

btw you can tell it's mays in the 56 aaron card because they had different body types. Mays was more square in the midsection.

Agree wholeheartedly on the T205 Baker. One of my all time favorite T205's.

I stand corrected. Mays was safe - at least that is what the umpired called. The play occurred on May 22, 1952 against the Cardinals. Here is a photo from a split second after the one already posted.

My Favorite of all-time!⚾️

I nominate the 1933 Goudey Gehringer followed by the 1941 Play Ball Kirby Higbe and 1953 Bowman Warren Spahn. Cards are like art so it is subjective, but there are so many really nice sets and individual cards out there.
