Gus Zernial ⭐ 1952 Topps
1952 Topps #31, Gus Zernial Black Back ⭐
This is a card that fascinated me, even before I understood the historical significance of the 1952 Topps Baseball Card Set; and before I knew why there are 6 baseballs affixed to his bat. You may also notice that the card depicts Gus wearing a pink undershirt.
Gus Zernial was a power-hitting outfielder who led the American League in home runs in 1951. The six baseballs affixed to his bat in the 1952 Topps card was a publicity photo that symbolized his six home runs in three consecutive games during the 1951 season.
