Bill exercises to get into condition
I'm thinking that Bill exploits his minor celebrity status to
obtain free drinks and sexual favors from fans would be a better
kind of fun fact on those cards.
Or perhaps: Howard is single, but has fathered three children
with three different women -- now that's some info we can use.

On June 26 in Baseball History...
1916 - Cleveland players, in a game with the White Sox, wear
numbers on their sleeves, marking the first time players are
identified by numbers corresponding to those on the scorecard.
1920 - Lou Gehrig gets his first national mention when, as a
high school junior for New York City's School of Commerce, he
hits a grand slam in a high school championship game against
Lane Tech in Chicago. Scouts sit with open mouths as the ball
sails out of the N.L. park (later known as Wrigley Field).
1935 - Lloyd Waner sets a major-league record with 18
putouts in center field in a doubleheader as the Pirates take a
pair from the Braves at Boston.
1940 - More than 50,000 pack the Polo Grounds to watch the
Yankees, Dodgers and Giants play each other in a six-inning
contest to raise money for war bonds. Each team plays successive
innings against the other two teams, then sits out an inning.
The final score is Dodgers 5, Yankees 1, Giants, 0.
1960 - Hoping to speed up the election process, the Hall of
Fame changes its voting procedures. The new rules allow the
Special Veterans Committee to vote annually, rather than every
other year, and to induct up to two players a year. The BBWAA is
authorized to hold a runoff election of the top 30 vote getters
if no one is elected in the first ballot.
1968 - The major league Executive Council decides that both
the A.L. and N.L. will play 162-game schedules in 1969 and
operate two six-team divisions.
1971 - Last year's A.L. batting king, Alex Johnson, is
suspended by the Angels following a series of incidents
(including five benchings and 29 fines) resulting from failure
to hustle.
1994 - Kirby Puckett becomes Minnesota's all-time hits
leader by getting three safeties to pass Rod Carew with his
2,088 hit as a Twin.
1997 - Tony Gwynn of the Padres breaks a seventh-inning tie
with an inside-the-park grand slam as San Diego beats Los
Angeles, 9-7. The opposite-field hit not only puts Gwynn back
over the .400 mark, but is also the first N.L. inside-the-park
grand slam in six years.

June 26, 1983 - White Sox slugger Greg Luzinski belts the first
of his three rooftop home runs at Comiskey Park becoming the
first player to ever hit that many in a single season. Luzinski
powers a pitch from the Twins Brian Oelkers over the roof in
left center field. The shot came in the 3rd inning of a game the
Sox would win 9 - 7.

Love those factoids, 4nek8.
JohnJeter the Female Elder dated Richie Hebner. He liked to
recite poetry. You could look it up.
Well maybe you couldn't, but 'tis true. Doubt it ever made it to
the back of a card.

Those Heritage "throwback" cards are kind of fun (Podsednik and
Crede), hadn't seen those before.
Note Podsednik's is in pink, ISF.
"Ralston Purina" strikes me as odd branding ona baseball card.

On June 27 in Baseball History...
1959 - With the players voting, Henry Aaron gets a unanimous
vote for the All-Star Game, making him the first player so
selected.
1973 - David Clyde, 18 and fresh out of Houston's
Westchester high school, makes his eagerly awaited debut with
Texas before 35,698, the largest Rangers' crowd of the year.
Clyde, the number one pick in the draft, walks the first two
Twins he faces, then gets Bob Darwin, George Mitterwald, and Joe
Lis on swinging third strikes. Clyde goes five innings and gives
up only one hit — a two-run home run — walks seven and strikes
out eight. He is the winner, 4-3.
1977 - Willie McCovey smashes two home runs in the sixth
inning to pace a 14-9 Giants victory over the Reds. McCovey
becomes the first player to twice hit two home runs in one
inning, having also done it on April 12, 1973. He also becomes
the all-time N.L. leader with 17 career grand slams.
1980 - Jerry Reuss pitches an 8-0 no-hitter for the Dodgers
against the Giants at Candlestick Park. Reuss, who strikes out
only two but doesn't walk a batter, is deprived of a perfect
game when shortstop Bill Russell throws wildly to first base on
Jack Clark's easy grounder in the first inning.
1986 - Give him an 'A' for effort. San Francisco second
baseman Robby Thompson is caught stealing four times in the
Giants' 7-6, 12-inning win over the Reds, establishing a new
major league record. Thompson was thrown out by Bo Diaz in the
fourth, sixth, ninth and 11th innings.
