Classic Sports Card of the Day

10 Jun

There have been error cards printed over the years, and there have been MAJOR ERROR cards. On the left is the 1966 Topps card of Chicago Cubs pitcher Dick Ellsworth. However, pictured on the card is Ken Hubbs, a young Cubs infielder who had died tragically in a plane crash two years earlier, just prior to the 1964 season. Hubbs’ 1964 “In Memoriam” card is on the right. Hubbs’ short-lived career in baseball was promising – he won a Gold Glove and was Rookie of the Year in 1962.
