This 1950 Richie Ashburn card was posted by Tom Allshouse to the APBA Baseball group on Facebook. Thanks to Ken Schulz for bringing it to my attention. It’s a fun one.
It starts out ok but once you get to 55 and you see the 7, you wonder “wait a minute!”. Not only that, the 10 is on 25 but there is no speed number on 15.
Theoretically, I suppose the card is correct. It just isn’t right.
Here are Ashburn’s 1950 stats in case you want to check…

and just for kicks, a Richie Ashburn Gillette commercial…
thanks Tom and Ken!
