The dreaded Pete Hamm card strikes again!
ReplyDeleteHamm wasn't the only guy on checklist whose MLB career was already over, but his body of work pales to the other guys, Dick Kelly and Ron Herbel. If there was a third least significant card I'd Tony La Russa who had pinch ran one time for the Cubs in 1973. But then again if Darcy "I didn't even play in 1971" Fast had his own card, I would have given him the award hands down.
