30 Day Baseball Card Challenge Day 10

DAY 10: ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE CARDS FROM THE 1960'S

This 1961 Fleer card was sent to me by Zippy Zappy.  And I love this card because it is so off-the-wall.  1961 Fleer was a set dedicated to old-time players and alot of these guys are not particularly well-remembered now.  Including Pipgras.  So there is the player selection.  Then there is the fact that is not exactly known as a Red Sox player.  He was a very good pitcher for the Yankees for a long time and only spent the last three seasons of his career with the Red Sox.  29 games total.  Although interestingly he was originally a Red Sox prospect and was traded to the Yankees for Al DeVormer before he made the Majors, a trade that worked out much better for the Yankees, of course.
