#39 Bert Campaneris -
I new him as a base stealer, but he did some other amazing things. How about three triples in one game - tying a record. He hit a homer on the first pitch he saw in the majors. He also hit another homer in that game, something done by only five players in MLB history. He wasn't even a home run hitter - he only hit 79 in 19 years.
Not on the card - I was surprised to find out that he was the second player with a given first name of Dagoberto. Bert Cueto, also from Cuba, had the same birth name.
#38 -
Another mention of leading the league in wild pitches. Don't they know that this isn't a good thing? He just had two good seasons, why not write more about that?
#37 Billy Williams -
I guess the Cubs liked swimming. He is a frequent member of the NL all-star team.
Not on the card - I caught multiple balls that he hit into the bleachers at Wrigley Field. Unfortunately, they all came when he as hitting fungos during outfield practice.
