1971 Topps #620, Hi-Number ⭐️ Frank Howard
There's nothing like a well loved card that you pulled as a kid and has remained in your PC through the years.
I pulled this card in the Summer of 1971 and loved it well.
I love it just as much today.
Frank Howard, "Hondo", was one of the most feared power hitters of his era.

He was 6-foot-7 and weighed over 250 pounds.
He was a physical marvel and carried the additional nicknames of "The Capital Punisher" and "The Washington Monument," with the Senators.
He finished his career with 382 home runs at a time when 30 home runs was a huge season.
Trivia Time --
Frank hit the last home run in Washington Senators history (1971), and

He hit the first home run in Texas Rangers history after the franchise relocated.

1923-24 Nacionales Cigarros #C48, Jacinto "Jack" Calvo ⭐ MLB Pioneer
Today's vintage treat is a scarce card of MLB Pioneer Jack Calvo.
Jack Calvo was born in Cuba and made his way to the US to play in the Majors for the Washington Senators in 1913.
Before that he played in the Negro League for the Long Branch Cubans and afterwards played in the Pacific Coast League (PCL).
Because of his light-colored skin he was able to navigate between segregated MLB and the Negro League, one of the first Cubans to play in MLB and to also play in the Negro League.
His presence in both leagues blurred the hard color lines that defined American baseball, demonstrating that ability, not race, determined a man’s place on the diamond.
