Whitey Ford poses
In putting together my HOF collection, I’ve noticed that Topps used a “reaching toward the camera in fake follow through” pose for just about every Whitey Ford card from 1957 on. At some point it had to be a conscious thing, a running joke, right? Anyone have any background?

It's funny, as I'm semi-obsessed with the Whitey Ford phenomenon. Check out this thread from way back when...
https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=210985 And I included this in my 'The New Directory of Collectorisms' thread... 82. Left Hand of Fate (also Whitey Bored) The fact that Topps seemingly had no other choice but to feature Whitey Ford holding out his southpaw towards the camera in the very same pose year after year after year.
