"though a full blooded Indian he is mild mannered"

I wonder what other full blooded Indians would say about that?

There are quite a few politically incorrect sayings on cards that would never pass societies muster today. This one even made me cringe a tiny bit

Yikes. Jackie's Old Gold was more subtle with the reference to Jackie being "even-tempered and modest."

He helped the Indians win the 1948 World Series, but that is insignificant next to his WW 2 exploits.

I have a friend who is an astronomer as well as a baseball card collector and this card back drives him crazy. When he talks about astronomy, I like to ask him if Mercury is in retrograde!

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Strive to be happy.

Lou Brissie's cards are similar. Bowman resisted the urge to talk about it in 1952.

What is sad is Don died in a traffic accident in 1968, only 37 years old.
