“ Another old-timey card where the back is just wasted space. Also, they couldn't put the guy's position on the card? Was he a pitcher? Outfielder? Batboy? Guy that wears the mascot costume that looks like an anthropomorphic Colt .45 handgun? ” -Theron_Nett

If you have read "Ball Four", then you know who Merritt Ranew is. (You would also know what position he played.) If you haven't read "Ball Four", then read "Ball Four". Great post.
