Ron Santo is my favorite player and had a card in each set. It's just a happy coincidence that he is the first "S".

1966 design. A classic shot. The bear cub patch these days looks a lot meaner than the one here. It hasn't help them get to the World Series. Ron had some nice (non-steroid) guns.

1961 design. 1961 was Santo's first card. In his first full year, 1961, he hit .284 with 23 HR's and 83 RBI's.

1965 design. Is that a golf glove on his left hand?

1953 design. I remember Red as the Cards manager, but in 1953 he hit a career high .342.

1957 design. The longtime Indians announcer won 38 games before being hit in the face by a line drive in May 7, 1957. Score rejects the theory that the injury and fear of being hit again had anything to do with his lack of success in the years that followed citing an elbow injury in 1958. He last pitched in 1962 for the White Sox, finishing his promising career with a 55-46 record.

1967 design. It's hard to find fault with the 1967 set. Boomer hit .303 in 1967 helping the Sox reach the World Series, which they unfortunately lost to the Cardinals.

1969 design. Tom Terrific. Miracle Mets. Please don't tell Mr. Santo that Seaver's here.
2000 design. The legendary Bob Sheppard was the public address announcer for the New York Yankees for more than half a century. Reggie Jackson called him "the Voice of God".
1960 design. I love this shot of Moose with the two bats and the trees in the background.

I need that 17 George Scott. Any chance you would trade it? I have a bunch of Cubs cards that I can send or some All Time Fan Favorites. Heck I may even have some Cubs All Time Fan Favorites if I look.
