1963 Topps baseball card, supposedly of Chicago Cubs outfielder Don Landrum. Oops, another error! The picture on the card is of an all-time Cubbies’ favorite, third baseman Ron Santo. Santo was always one of the under-appreciated players of his time, usually playing second fiddle to Baltimore’s Brooks Robinson as far as third basemen of the 1960s. That continues even until today, as Santo has yet to be voted into the baseball hall of fame, an honor he clearly deserves. Landrum was a journeyman in his career, playing for 4 different MLB teams over a 10 year span.
