Thanks, Ted, for those great memories...
I'm unsure when I first bought ball cards... may have been a pack or two of 1963 Topps.
That's a nice Robinson card, and a great wrapper.
Chester Hoff... I can imagine a young Hoff with the 'quick breaking curve' throwing that left handed breaking crap up there to Ty Cobb, who had no mental book about what to expect... Maybe he was sitting on fastball and never saw it.
People need to talk with those players still living, record them, and preserve that for generations to come.
