Forgive me if this has been done a thousand times before.
I hope this becomes a long thread because I am here to learn.

Give me your favorite one or two cards with interesting action shots of the player.

For example, 1985 Topps Lou Whitaker seems to have a picture of him during a double play. Such a great photo.

This is one of my all-time favorites:

The agony on Corrales face is priceless.

I wish I could post a scan but I cannot. My 2 Favorites are 1953 Bowman Color Pee Wee Reese (Jumping in the air-turning a double play) and 1956 Topps Willie Mays sliding home. Maybe not true photography but those are my favorites.

That Corrales card IS AWESOME!

Such AWESOME examples already. geez. My wantlist is going to blow up if I start seeing more cards like these.

How is that Reese only a 6?!?!?!? It looks fantastic.

"How is that Reese only a 6?!?!?!? It looks fantastic."

Thanks, I thought so too! It has a slight rough cut on the top border, otherwise I think it was a 7.

71 Munson - you can almost taste the dirt.

74 Ryan - staring down the barrel of the cannon...

GOOD CHOICES!

I'm not exactly sure if this counts as a " Card "
It's actually more like an entry card for a 97 sweepstakes , but the intensity on Johns face and in his hands and body , make this one , one of my favorites .

Not to mention all the memories that go along with watching this particular game . . .
Absolutely insane !

:Edited to add: Talk about starring down the barrel of a shotgun !

Another favorite of my, love how the crowd is standing up in the background watching the play intently!!

Does Freehan have the ball in his non-glove hand? Great shot!!

<< <i>Does Freehan have the ball in his non-glove hand? Great shot!! >>

Good eye, all long as you are touch the ball in one hand and can touch the player with your glove, he is still out correct??

No. The tag must be made with the hand the ball is in.

A bit of useless trivia:

#10 sliding past Bill Freehan is Celerino Sanchez, who was from Mexico and was the Yankees' regular third baseman for the last half of the 1972 season before Graig Nettles joined them in 1973.

DavidPuddy · July 19, 2007 11:11AM

yeah that elway is the worst most disgusting picture I've ever seen

Let's not talk about it,,,,,,,,,

jamesgotpoorman · July 19, 2007 12:10PM

DavidPuddy · July 19, 2007 12:16PM
