I had about twenty of those as a kid. Too bad I tore them all to hell playing with them.

I have three gallon bags of baseball cards somewhere in the storage unit, mainly 70’s and 80s.

I’m in my 60’s and this is alarming.
Pneumonia?
That’s something mere mortals die of, not legends!

Rickey spent more of his career as the all time steals leader than not as the steals leader.
Rickey once went 0-for-0 with 4 walks, 5 steals, and 4 runs, the only 4/5/4 game in history, but didn’t get a fifth PA because he was pulled early in a 16-7 blowout loss.
Rickey retired as the franchise leader in steals for the A’s and Yankees, teams that were both 103 years old at the time.
Half of Rickey’s steals (703) would still be top 10 all time.
The last time Rickey led MLB in steals was 1998, at age 39. In the 24 seasons since, the combined total of the stolen base leaders from each season is 1,385. Rickey had 1,406.
