Yes, today’s Monster Card Monday is one day late. With my trip to Pittsburgh last weekend and other foreseen consequences, I had to delay MCM one day. Never fear, it’s here.
Harold Leroy “Hal” McKain of 1930 is this week’s Monster Card. He fits the bill. Though he’s only a DY, his hitting card makes Lou Gehrig blush. He’s got power numbers of 2-2-2-6 plus four 7s. Not only that APBA gave him four 14s.
McKain deserved those 2s, by the way. In 1930, he hit four triples in 31 at-bats for the White Sox.

McKain didn’t amount to much of a pitcher at the big league level. He won six games each in 1929-1931. He did manage a 3.65 ERA in 1929.
But those 2s!
You missed a “2” it should be 2-2-2-2-6
