Perusing the list of baseball birthdays, I noticed that Hall of Famer Early Wynn came into the world on this date in 1920. Which reminded me that he once shared a Cleveland Indians rotation with another Hall of Famer, Bob Lemon.
And THAT reminded me that I always get these two guys confused, probably thanks in no small part to the 1983 Donruss Hall of Fame Heroes set that featured these two Dick Perez masterpieces:
I wrote more about these guys and their cards and my confusion a few years back in this piece. Even looking at the cards side-by-side right now, I’m still not sure I have it all straight.
They look great, though, and so does the rest of that fun and history-laden set. It even has a Josh Gibson card, which isn’t something you can say for too many 1980s issues.
Have an Early Lemon Bob Wynn Saturday!
