I made a few recent raw purchases of players who started in the NL and eventually made the MLB. One of my favorites- and one of the coolest cards I've never seen- was this '51 Bowman Sam Jethroe. The stance, the colors... the art is great. I know Sam was a switch hitter, but his hands are holding the bat "backwards" on this card. Anyone seen the original photo this is from (or any photo of him batting right-handed)? I know when batting lefty he held the bat normally. Unless this is supposed to be the follow-thru from a lefthanded swing? Hmm...

Yeah, I think it’s the downward-plane, front-footed follow through shot, like the Irvin above.
