Vintage Card of the Week
My vintage card of the week: The 1951 Bowman Dan Bankhead RC. Bankhead was the first Black pitcher in Major League Baseball. Branch Rickey signed him in 1947 after several standout seasons in the Negro Leagues. Bankhead didn’t achieve the MLB success that Jackie Robinson did, but he was a trailblazer, nonetheless. And since pitching is my favorite part of the game, I’m really happy to have recently added this card to my collection.
