Classic Sports Card of The Day

04 Aug

1963 Topps baseball card of Joe Torre, probably best known as the World Series-winning manager of the New York Yankees. Torre, however, also had an outstanding playing career. He was one of the best catchers in the game while with the Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves in the 1960s, then played for the St. Louis Cardinals, moving to third base. He had the best season of his career there in 1971, when he won the NL batting title and the MVP award. Torre is currently managing the Los Angeles Dodgers.
