The Rookie Card That Should've Been

Pardon my crude photoshopping, it was just for a lark. The poor guy drew a walk then didn't get a chance to run. The least they could've done is give him a card!

agreed, that is pretty crude.

Larry Fritsch included him in one of his sets, I believe.



This is not photoshopped.

Hey that's so strange, I am currently working on an Eddie Gaedel card for my card set!

I'm glad to see that someone's finally gonna give him props!

I love that card, would love to have a copy. I particularly like that you tried to catch him just before he went to bat, during his one true moment as a Major Leaguer.

It is, however, hard to resist the politically incorrect inclination to wish that he had worked for RCA/Victor rather than Mercury, since he could've then been referred to as a 'height-appropriate' replacement for the dalmatian.
