Time to give a Major League icon, Boston Red Sox long-time player and coach (and even manager) a 1976 coach card:
This was a man who put in about 73 years in the Major Leagues in one
position or another: player, coach, manager, instructor. You name it,
the man did it.
Incredible baseball life that started with him as a teammate of Jimmie
Foxx, all the way through the Red Sox two World Series wins of 2004 and
2007.
As a kid I was always amazed by his 200+ seasons to start his career, with THREE years in between lost to the war!
He also scored 100+ runs each of the first six seasons of his career!
A career .307 hitter, he retired as a player after the 1954 season
before moving on to coaching, and sticking around until his death in
2012.
Just amazing.
