Beg, Borrow and Steal?
It's been brought up before how Tug McGraw grabbed John 'The Hammer' Milner's huge glove for the woodsy shot on his 1973 card...
s-l1600-2.jpg But, I just realized Lou Brock is guilty of theft, too. In between stealing bases, it's pretty obvious he also swiped Ernie Bank's batting helmet (because that's a 14, not a 24) for his 1964 card... s-l1600.jpg Anyone else have examples of players sponging off others?

Weird that I can't see the pics. They show up as text lines.
Anyway, 1973 Topps is filled with interesting background stuff. The Tug card looks like it was taken in his back yard with a crutch leaning up against the shed. |

I wonder if Billy Ripken tried to pretend he took the wrong bat for that one card... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
