Leo Posada 1960-1960 Kansas City A's uniform
There wasn't a very big window to get an in-season shot of Posada in this uniform; Leo didn't debut until September 21st, and the A's changed unis (taking the red out of the scheme, losing the elephant on the sleeve, and going to mono-colored socks) after the season. But the schedule apparently included a late road trip to New York, and Leo got his first Topps picture taken.
Really too far away to be a good shot; even the "facepack"-size is a half-body shot. And not terribly rare, since the A's still wore these uniforms in spring training of 1961 [as seen on Leo's 1961 and 1962 Topps cards, both with the red-letter cap], before changing to white-letter cap in the current facepack for the '61 season. But it's still a different uniform than he'd wear for most of his career, so I figured it was worth including here. Enjoy.
