Bob---David got started in professional ball with the Cincinnati Clown. Is any thought being given to dropping the Reds name and going the Clowns route ?

Bullet Bob was part of the biggest MLB trade ( 17 players) after the 54 season when he was sent to the Yanks, where he won the Cy Young award in 1958

Managed to knock himself out in his first MLB at bat
|
I had to look that one up Al...that pitch really got away from old Si Johnson...welcome to the show!
One great side effect of posting these cards is I can really take a good look at what needs upgrading. Need to add Billy to the list...not meeting my set standard here... https://i.ibb.co/RSZPDVh/54-86-Billy.jpg |

The white arm band variant is quite common. Not sure if it was a DP difference, a long running print defect, or a correction. Maybe a print/sheet expert knows

Mr. Mays. This is the version with the bandage/support on his arm.
|
I've had a couple 54 Mays through the years, and once had a raw arm band version...wish I still had that!
I submitted this one myself, was hoping for a 3...got a 1.5. To be fair, there is a small water stain on the back. I love this card...classic Post War treasure... https://i.ibb.co/6RwcQJT/54-90-Willie.jpg |

Bob- it appears you need the Mays variant 😬

Joe was the first black player to win a World Series game and roomed with Jackie Robinson, who mentored him. Sandy Koufax has said he was grateful to Black for his friendship when he joined the Dodgers and experienced much the same racist attitudes as Black had earlier. But he never could find the right wife, despite 7 attempts
