‘61 Covington
I agree with several other posters in this thread — that the 1961 Wes Covington (#296) card presents an outstanding image.
Look at all that creamy white lumber in the rack - maybe belonging to Aaron, Matthews, or Adcock. Look at that huge black forearm and bicep as Wes pulls a couple war clubs out before proceeding to the on-deck circle. He knows the camera is on him - so he gives a little smile. Thanks Wes.
Lastly, that kid in the stands wearing the red shirt looks to be about my age in 1961. When examining the card as a child, I used to envy him and his view of the game - and maybe a leaning peak into the dugout!
