Byron "By" Speece, a submarine pitcher, began his pro career in the minors in 1922 at age 25 and finished his career with the Seattle Rainiers in 1945 at age 48! I collect his cards because he pitched for the 1924 WS Champion Washington Senators, his only year with this team. After the 1924 season, Clark Griffith shrewdly traded Speece and another "no-name" player to Cleveland for Stan Coveleski who greatly helped the Senators win the 1925 AL pennant. He pitched for Cleveland in 1925 and very briefly in 1926 and for the Phillies in 1930. All of the rest of his years were spent in the minors.

Try to suspend your amazement, but this time it's not Mays.
53/54 Briggs Meats Grasso. Today PSA shows Pop 1, but that's because they haven't updated for this one yet, with the grade just posting today. Fun fact: grasso means "fat" in Italian. As the saying goes in Rome, "after a fat pope comes a skinny one", although Newton was never the Bishop of Rome.

Time for another Mays Bazooka box. This time from 1961, although it’s missing the tabs, so woefully short of a truly complete box. PSA pop=1.
