Classic Sports Card of The Day

11 Nov

Henry Aaron is one of the greatest baseball players of all time, yet this is the second time we have posted an example on the “Classic Sports Card of The Day” of an Aaron card released with an error. An earlier post featured an Aaron card that had an “action” picture on it that was actually Willie Mays sliding into home plate, not Aaron. On this card, the image is reversed. “Hammerin’ Hank” was a right-handed batter, not left-handed,  and his number on the jersey that is partially visible is obviously backwards. The old school Milwaukee Braves logo on the sleeve is pretty sweet, but it too is reversed. Aaron ,of course, is considered by many baseball purists to still be the greatest home run hitter of all time, despite being bypassed in the steroid era. His career HR total was amassed despite the fact that he never hit more than 47 in a single season, a tribute to his consistency and longevity.
