30 Day Baseball Card Challenge Day 9

DAY 9: ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE CARDS FROM THE 1950'S
Harry Agganis is a very tragic story.  He was a terrific local athlete that could have been a professional football player if he had not pursued baseball.  And he was developing into a young star when he was stricken with pneumonia.  He appeared to be recovering when he suffered a pulmonary embolism and died suddenly at the age of just 26.  This is the only real card of Agganis from his playing days.
