1939 R303-B Goudey Premium Mel Ott ⭐ Legendary Hall of Famer
I'm not sure why these cards and, for that matter, Mel Ott are not more popular. The backs of these cards are phenomenal.
Mel Ott was magnificent and his offensive exploits are largely forgotten by many today.
He was the favorite baseball player of legendary broadcaster Vin Scully and ESPN sportscaster Keith Olbermann.
Mel Ott was a legendary New York Giants slugger who became the first N.L. player to hit 500 career HRs.
He was only 5'9" and used a famous high-leg kick to generate massive power. He finished with 511 homers, a .304 career batting average, and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1951.
