Classic Sports Card of The Day

14 Oct

1963 Topps baseball card of Hall of Fame pitcher, and retiring U.S. Senator Jim Bunning. Bunning pitched for 17 seasons in the major leagues, most notably with the Detroit Tigers and Philadelphia Phillies. He is one of only five players to throw a no-hitter in both leagues, and his National League no-no was a perfect game against the New York Mets. Bunning was a 7-time All Star team selection and was inducted into Cooperstown in 1996. He has been involved in politics since first winning elected office in Kentucky in 1977, and is retiring from his position as one of Kentucky’s senators when his current term is finished at the end of this year.
