|
(b. November 19, 1921 - d. June 26, 1993)
|
| Roy Campanella, on the of the great athletes of his time, had a
.312 average, 41 homers, 103 runs scored, and 142 RBI in 1953 -
amazing marks for a backstop. In 1951, 1953, and 1955 the Dodger
catcher was named the NL's MVP. He led his team to five pennants
in 10 years. A 1958 automobile accident left Campanella paralyzed,
and his struggle to remain active has served as a continuing inspiration. |

EIGHT that is oh-so-close to being a mint card. Terrific centering,
incredible gloss and very strong corners. I've had this 1954 Bowman
Campy for a long time - purchased from Piedmont Cards on 12/16/98. |
