Weird Card Wednesday: 1962 Wes Stock

Wes Stock-001

With nine 14s and twenty-one 24s, this 1962 Wes Stock card from the Baltimore Orioles probably has the most occurrences of the number ‘4’ that I’ve ever seen. 

The six result numbers on Wes Stock’s card that AREN’T a 14 or a 24:  12-25, 34-12, 45-36, 51-23, 53-21 and 65-35.

But look on the bright side with pitcher Mr. Stock at the plate.  He’s got a pretty good on base chance (especially against a W pitcher when the 36 gets turned into a walk, too!).  And well, he doesn’t strike out much either (unless you have one of those nasty K pitchers on the mound).

I am an IT consultant by day and an APBA media mogul by night. My passions are baseball (specifically Illini baseball), photography and of course, APBA. I have been fortunate to be part of the basic game Illowa APBA League since 1980 as well as the BBW Boys of Summer APBA League since 2014. I am slogging through a 1966 NL replay and hope to finish before I die.

  1. Good one Tom. I remember liking Stock’s 1965 Topps card, with those undefeated seasons and great winning percentage, I thought he was a great pitcher.

  2. Ironically, no 14 on 45!
