#54T Rafael Santana



We've got a 1960's Batman card here, with a crazy camera tilt angle for no reason at all. I wonder if the camera was tilted or if they just tilted the photo on the card.

Also, for some odd reason, the photo on the front looks a lot like Mel Hall to me, even though I know it's Santana.

"Lengthy minor league apprenticeship" indeed!

  1. You'll have a lengthy minor league apprenticeship when (1) Ozzie Smith is the big league shortshop and (2) you hit .225.

  2. But as the card clearly states, he played for the Yankees and wore No. 3! Why have a lengthy minor league apprenticeship when you're obviously the second coming of Babe Ruth?
