Manager Cards Redux

I've done quite a few posts featuring manager cards and I'm only up to the Mariners. The one thing I haven't gotten bored with is checking out the managers as players. So here are a few of the cards featured in my earlier posts. I used the format of the 1974 O Pee Chee Hank Aaron Special as a template. 


Bobby Cox was featured as both player and manager in my first post.


Dick Williams appeared in my tribute to Harmon Killebrew


Mike Scioscia was my first post to feature 2011 managers. 


My posting on Sparky Anderson was inspired by an article I read that portrayed Sparky Anderson the manager and George Anderson the player and family man as different personalities.

I've got a few more ideas on how to feature the player / manager cards, so look for a few similar posts in the future.

First Post : Mike Stanton


Ok, we all get the concept. It's the classic Kevin Bacon game with a baseball twist. Not just baseball but baseball cards. I just randomly chose Topps 2011 #135 which happened to be Mike Stanton of the Florida Marlins. I linked him to his 2011 teammate Wes Helms.


In 2002 Helms played for Bobby Cox on the Braves.


In 1969 Cox played alongside Joe Pepitone on the Yankees.


And Pepitone was a member of the 1971 Cubs along with Ron Santo.


Mike Stanton to Ron Santo in 4 degrees of separation.

Leave player suggestions in the comments. All I ask is that they appear on a modern era baseball card. 1950 or more recent.
