show 'em if you got 'em

i've got quite a few cards sitting in my scanned folder.  most are dodgers, double plays, or memorial cards waiting for their post.  some are miscellaneous cards from random years and teams.  with a lot of those, i am left scratching my head, kind of like bob kennedy on his 1965 topps card, 

as to why i scanned them.  i would guess that kennedy's card got scanned due to his 'head coach' designation.  the cubs went a few seasons without a manager, apparently.  just a group of rotating head coaches.  wrigley wax wrote all about it a while back.

speaking of managers, here's the pilots' skipper, joe schultz, on a 1969 topps card.

i am pretty sure i scanned this one for a dinged corners post on foreheads. night owl had the same idea. good thing i also sent an ivan calderon scan along.

and then there is a proliferation of 1970 topps in the scanned folder.  lots of gray bordered goodness.

bob bailey

 dick bosman

bosman looks as though he is posing a few hundred feet in front of the giant green screen at universal studios in hollywood.  i think it is situated behind the 'war of the worlds' plane crash set.

chris cannizzaro, before he was a dodger

check out those relatively tame padres uniforms!

ron clark

johnny edwards

john gelnar

ralph houk

looks like elston howard in the background

speaking of howard, here's frank howard

alex johnson

he joined the angels in 1970 and led the american league in batting average.

hal lanier

denny lemaster

frank linzy

barry moore

lowell palmer!

recognized as perhaps the coolest card in topps history

gary peters

dave ricketts

another one of the best looking cards of the 1970 set, thanks to the specs and all the colors

del unser

he's got bats.  and he know how to use them.

there are a few stray 1971 topps in the folder, too.  like bob bailey

that's the second bailey.  he played for the dodgers for a couple of seasons, but i don't think i was planning a post-dodger career post.

les cain

i certainly scanned that card thanks to his use of 'sugar' in his signature.  that and the fact that he's from the central coast of california (slo town).  not sure which, really.

john o'donoghue

perhaps the scrubby tree in the background was worth giving this card a scan?

last but not least, a jim wynn card

because why not scan a toy cannon card?
