1991 Elite: A Study Through My Wax Pack Failures
I never found a Donruss Elite insert in a pack of cards. With nothing to show from these packs, here’s what I found instead.
Power Behind the Throne
This is the guy that won the manager of the year award for Ted Williams.
Clutch Hitting; Unnecessary Pitching; and Lots of Minor League Bus Rides
The most clutch moment of Jack Phillips’ career took place in 1950 and it didn’t even get a mention on the back of his 1952 Topps baseball card.
Spelling Mr. Maxwell’s Name
Charlie Maxwell sets the record straight on how to spell his name on his 1952 Topps card, one that gave him four different names. He personally added another nickname to the one in my collection.
The Best Power/Speed Guy in Cardinals History
Speed and power rarely coincide for the St. Louis Cardinals. The team has a long history of focusing on only one or the other. Ray Lankford was a Top 5 player in both categories.
1993 Finest: Tim Raines
Standing in the shadow of Rickey Henderson is possibly the game’s greatest leadoff hitter. He also may or may not collect baseball cards.
