Cardboard cousins: Dave and Don

I matched up my new '59-style Baseball Card Magazine cards from Kerry with the cards I have from '59. I found one match - serendipitously, it was my favorite of the BCM cards, Dave Winfield, with the Don Hoak card I had just picked up a few days earlier!

Both were #25 in their sets. Hoak died at the age of 41 of a heart attack after managing the AAA Columbus Jets of the Pirates organization. One of Hoak's pitchers, Steve Arlin, was with the Padres when Winfield debuted for the team in 1973.
