Of course I was also buying baseball and football.
1962 was the year when I really started buying very strongly.
Wayne......you remembered correctly. You are the Trivia King.

If I remember correctly....Boudreau is the only player/manager ever to be awarded the MVP.


Furthermore, the MVP awards were announced in the first (or 2nd) week of December 1948.
Which tells us that these LEAF BB cards were NEVER, ever issued in 1948. PSA is misleading
the hobby by labeling them a "1948" issue.

Thanks for your response.
