#63 Tony Oliva - lots of information about his rookie season and his two batting titles.
Not on the card - His brother is actually named Pedro. There's a story about how his name was switched to have him appear younger to scouts.
#62 Don Wilson - I didn't know that he tied three MLB records in one game. I knew he'd thrown a no-hitter.
Not on the card - his 1969 no-hitter is not mentioned.
#61 Harmon Killebrew - born in June of 1936 and he played in the majors in 1954. He led the league in homers four times and was named an all-star nine times in an eleven-year span.
Not on the card - he was still 17 when he played in his first MLB game. Did they run out of space to mention his other two HR titles? He added two more all-star teams (1970-71).
