Classic Sports Card of The Day

30 May

With the Stanley Cup Finals about to begin, a good sports card to feature is this 1972 Opeechee hockey card of former NHL player Bob Baun, a hero in the Stanley Cup Finals for the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1964, when he scored the winning goal in overtime against Detroit while playing on a broken leg. Baun, a defenseman, was typical for the era in that he wasn’t much of an offensive threat, but played solid defense and was a good, hard, clean hitter. His NHL career lasted 18 seasons, 11 of them with Toronto, and he helped the Leafs win 4 Stanley Cups.
