My vintage card of the week: The 1941 Play Ball Jimmie Foxx. This was the first 1940s card I acquired. Found it at my local card shop, which has a really great vintage selection, especially for a shop in a small town. The artwork immediately caught my eye. Just gorgeous colors that make the card a pleasure to look at. And Foxx was an absolute stud: 3X MVP; triple-crown winner; 534 career HR; and a cartoonish career OPS of 1.038.

1941 Play Ball #71, Joe DiMaggio ⭐ Legendary Hall of Famer and American Cultural Icon
Nothing is more important than a man's word. A man's word is his bond.
In 1977, Joe DiMaggio was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Gerald R. Ford for Joe's extraordinary contributions both on the baseball field and as a patriotic figure, including his WWII service and philanthropy.

This is my only Play Ball card. I picked it up at a show earlier this month - loved the look of it, beautiful colors, especially the blue sky in the background.

Milnar was part of Cleveland's rotation for a few years and made the all-star team in 1940, going 18-10 with a 3.27 ERA. Bob Feller described the big lefty as a "good guy in the clubhouse" and a "happy person".

1941 Play Ball #63, Dom DiMaggio ⭐
1941 Play Ball #61, Vince DiMaggio ⭐
On November 6, 1938, the three DiMaggio brothers—Joe, Dom, and Vince—played together in the outfield for the first time during a charity game in California.
The 1941 Play Ball baseball card set is the only mainstream set that featured cards of all three brothers during their MLB playing days. Let that sink in.
