The Nitty Gritty Card of the Day

Today's Nitty Gritty Card of the Day is card #4 from 1965 Topps showing the National League's homerun leaders. Willie Mays blasted 47 to pace the league, but seems to be taking a nap in the photo. Running the bases can be exhausting. I love this game, I love this hobby!

    3 out of the top 5 played for SF. Wow.

    The back of the card has Mays playing for "N.Y."! Someone at Topps was asleep at the switch.

    Nice catch Jim... I didn't even notice that. Of course I had to look through all of the Giants cards in the League Leaders to see how often they made that mistake...

    That is a great catch Jim and an even better card.
