1962 Topps Rookie Parade Pitchers (#591) - Card of the Day
Welcome to Day 14 of the 2025 Spring Training Baseball Card Challenge, wherein we revel in the glories of a multiplayer rookie card. I’ve written about this card before (right here), so I’ll let you off with just this glimpse of these five guys — Sudden Sam McDowell chief among them — who once brought such promise to their teams.
It’s Saturday, after all, and I (sorta) promised light reading on the weekends during this challenge. See you tomorrow!

There was this pitcher, Jerry Koosman, sharing the card with a no namer, Nolan Ryan in 1968. Not sure he amounted to much.
Also Dick Raditz, the great side arm relief pitcher.
