I remember Bert “Campy” Campaneris and César Tovar playing all nine positions in one game and distinctly remember the back of this card.

To be honest, it took me a while to understand that Ted's 1959 Fleer set includes this card of him pitching. I had assumed he was in the outfield somewhere, since it shows a righthanded hitter. :-)

Ted was a pitcher in high school. Here is a photo of him pitching for Hoover High: https://sabr.org/sabr-rucker-archive/willite01_127/

In that game on August 24, 1940, the Tigers won 12-1 over the Red Sox.

Rudy York went 4 for 6, with 3 runs and 5 RBIs and a home run.

Of the two outs York made, one was being called out on strikes against Ted Williams.
