Joe Liss posted this Hal Kelleher card from 1938 on Facebook. It’s a fun one.
As a pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies, Kelleher simply went 1 for 2 with one strikeout.

Any card with a 13-9 is a Monster in my book, power or no. Hal Kelleher has a total of ten 7s on his card. Here are his hit numbers.
7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-8-8-8-8-9-9
Kelleher’s error number was moved to 62 to accommodate his 53-9. He also received a rare 36-23 which I don’t think I’ve seen before.
Fun numbers: 13-9, 53-9, 31-7
In case you’re wondering, Hal Kelleher deserved the DYW. He gave up 15 runs in 7 1/3 innings pitched in 1938. That perhaps not coincidentally, was his last year in baseball.
thanks, Joe!
