Wood vs. Wood #266

Last time it was 6-2 for '62. Who will win here?

John Anderson's stray lock of hair has made this card into something of a cult classic. A sidearm knuckleballer, Anderson had brief stints with the Phillies in '58, the Orioles in '60, and the Cardinals and Astros in '62. Overall in 24 games he went 0-0 with a 6.45 ERA. He stayed in the minors until 1967. He died in 1998. (One of his teammates in Houston was Jim Golden, who was traded after the season to the White Sox for Nellie Fox.)

Jeff Hamilton plays catch before a game, as a fan leans over the railing behind him. The third baseman played six seasons in the major leagues, all with the Dodgers. He was a regular in 1988 and 1989. In 1989 he led the NL with 139 putouts, and had a fluky year at the bat, hitting .245 with 12 HR and 56 RBI, but managing to rank sixth in the league with 35 doubles, over half his career total. He got hurt in April of 1990, basically ending his career. Overall in 416 games he hit .234 with 62 doubles, 24 HR and 124 RBI. He is now an instructor at Foutch's Strike Zone in Flint, MI. He is also a mortgage banker.
