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.

Harmon Killebrew - June 29, 1936 – May 17, 2011

In honor of Harmon (Killer) Killebrew's passing, I am posting a tribute to the Hall of Famer. This time every player leading up to Ron Santo is a fellow Hall of Famer. (Some may argue that Santo should be included in the Hall of Fame but I will leave that argument up the the many other blogs on that subject.)

Harmon played with Whitey Herzog on the 1958 Washington Senators.

Herzog played for the 1962 Baltimore Orioles with another future Hall of Fame Manager, Dick Williams.

 Williams managed the pennant winning 1967 Boston Red Sox and Triple Crown winner Carl Yastrezemski.

Yaz was teamed up with Fergie Jenkins on the 1977 Boston Red Sox.

Fergie was Ron Santo's teammate many including the 1968 Chicago Cubs. Santo and Jenkin's numbers have both been retired by the Cubbies.

From the late great Harmon Killebrew to the late great Ron Santo in 5 degrees.
