It's just that when I thought of Jim Kaat, this was what I pictured.
Like, how when one pictures Mike Hegan, this is what springs to mind:
Also, the following card was somehow nearly impossible to get in our region, so much so that next-door Mark traded Guernsey a whole box of football cards (it was October, or so) for one, to complete a set. Actually, no, I think I had the card; Guernsey (last name, everyone just called him that - also the first person I knew who was shunned for "drugs" - ha!) wanted it and next-door Mark wanted it, and mark offered me a ton of his baseball card doubles for it (like, 300 cards) and Guernsey had a stack of about 80 football cards, and I took the football cards, because it was the season (this was a few years before I'd even read "In Football Season") and I thought my mom would yell at me for bringing in yet more baseball cards, out of season.
SO, up yours, MOM!
Oh! The aforementioned card!:
So that is all, baseball card-wise!
