Buddy Groom pitched for fourteen years in the major leagues, mostly for the Tigers, A's and Orioles. In 786 games he went 31-32 with 27 saves and a 4.64 ERA. Now a youth sports coach, he kindly answered my questions about baseball cards.
"I don’t really have any stories about any ones card or any of myself. I think one of my favorites was the Topps throw back uniforms. It was done at the old Cleveland Stadium. Which was older than even that throwback jersey. I don’t collect cards but I did collect bats and both individual and team signed balls. I even have a signed game worn Cal Ripken jersey framed and hanging on my wall."
Thanks!
This card has always stood out to me. I'm not even that big of a fan of throwback unis on cards, but I've always liked this one.
ReplyDeleteA favorite card in my collection. I love the peeling paint. Always wondered which stadium.
