The Grift Is Working

 


Scored some free cards from Brett, of the Garden State.


-  Pro Bowler in 1956.  AFL All-Star in 1961.

-  2x Pro Bowler.  All-American for Virginia in both football and lacrosse.  

 

-  2x All-Star.  Played every position in MLB except for pitcher and catcher.

-  Military policeman during World War II.  Nine consecutive hits as a pinch hitter. 


Thanks, Brett.

  2. Glad you liked! Like I said in my note, I won some cards from you because you didn't have any baseball from 1956, so I figured it was only fair I fix that situation.

    Billy Goodman is indeed an underappreciated player--and a guy I use in Immaculate Grid all the time.

  3. Great cards. Nice Yankee Stadium frieze shot on the Dave Baltimore card (shouldn't have kept the name Dave Philley since the Philley A's had traded him away a couple years earlier)

    1. Yeah. Reggie Cleveland never played for the Indians, unfortunately.

  4. Wasn't familiar with Philley until today... but he was an impressive man. 9 consecutive pinch hits is pretty awesome. Serving your country during a World War is even more awesome.
