The Classic Sports Card of The Day for this day isn’t a real one. It’s a home-made card, mimicking a 1955 Bowman style, done by Bob Lemke of boblemke.blogspot.com, of one of the NFL’s legendary hard hitters, linebacker Hardy Brown. Brown played 10 seasons of pro football with 7 different teams and his best and longest stint was with the San Francisco 49ers in the 1950s. He served with United States Marines in World War II before his football career began, and passed away in 1991 in a mental institution.
