Classic Sports Card of The Day

27 Sep

You just can’t beat good old 1970s baseball cards for a good laugh. This autographed 1975 Topps card of Oscar Gamble of the Cleveland Indians is a good example. Oscar’s baseball cap can barely contain his oversized Afro, which he was famous for during his playing career. That career lasted 17 seasons and he played for 7 different major league teams, including 2 different stints with the Yankees and White Sox. Gamble was nicknamed “The Big O” by broadcaster Phil Rizzuto during his time with the Yankees, and he once gave this famous quote when asked for advice about playing the game of baseball: “They don’t think it be like it is, but it do.”
