For some reason, I have this thing about the color in the caption matching all of the players on a given team. This why I liked the 1966-69 Topps cards so much, although that is also when I first started collecting. Anyway, it always bugged me that all of my beloved Minnesota Twins had their '67 cards showing the team name in green--all except Harmon Killebrew, who showed it in yellow. I loved that pose and everything about the card except that damn yellow lettering, which really made it look like a fish out of water given that I sorted my cards by team.
