1976 Kellogg's Joe Rudi ⭐
On October 15, 1972, at Riverfront Stadium, Joe Rudi made a game-saving catch of Denis Menke’s drive to help the Oakland A’s defeat the Cincinnati Reds in Game 2 of the World Series. Rudi’s leaping grab against the left field wall preserves a 2-1 victory. The ball briefly popped from Rudi’s glove, but he regained possession for the out. Rudi also homered for the A’s.

The win gave the Athletics a 2-0 game advantage as the WS shifted to Oakland.

Happy Wednesday!

1950 Remar Bread, Oakland Oaks ⭐ Mel Duezabou, Pacific Coast League (PCL)
Mel Duezabou never reached Major League Baseball.
He was a standout minor league baseball player for the Oakland Oaks of the PCL.
The PCL was widely considered "the other major league" during the 1940s and early 50s because it was classified as an "Open League" (above the standard AAA level). At that time, there were no other MLB teams west of St. Louis.
This is my 2nd highest graded minor league card.😎
