Teddy
Sorry I can't figure out how to post multiple pics using my phone. Great story in Ted's biography about a near miss crash in the Korean War.

Been meaning to post this for a while:
 Almost everyone in the set served in the military, either during World War II, Korea, or, in the case of Bob Kennedy, both. There are a lot of cards where the back doesn't have stats from the previous season because the player was in the military. Senators infielder Wayne Terwilliger (row 14, 3rd from left) served with the Marines at Saipan, Tinian and Iwo Jima, and his teammate Mickey Grasso (who I don't have yet; am on the lookout for one) was captured at the Battle of Kasserine Pass, and spent two years in a German POW camp, which contributed to his early death in 1975, at 55 years old.
