Wow 2003 my graduating year right here in Detroit. I remember that season well... except Eckenstahler. That Murray Dickson card should be made into a shrine. He is the definition of what most of us actually are. Great players on bad teams. He's a working class hero. And those 52 cards are probably one of my favorite designs anyway. This takes the cake my good sir. Thank you for all the knowledge this morning. I'm back to work after a long break and getting caught up on my cards! Merry xmas and Happy New year to all.
I found that stat fascinating so bought a bunch of ‘51 Garver’s. He won 129 games and didn’t pitch for a winning team until 1955. One other tidbit then I’ll stop, Ted Williams said he had a lot of trouble picking up Garver’s slider.
One right off the bat to me is Ned Garver. In 1951 he won 20 on a 102 loss Browns team. And he made the All-Star game. Oh and had 24 CG’s as well.
That's a great one! Had to look it up, but he also finished second in the MVP voting to Yogi Berra. Pretty darn amazing season.

Garver looked like he just stepped out of Field of Dreams on his '51 Bowman. Awesome card!
