Herb Hippauf & Arnie Umbach:
This is one of my favorite cards since it has not just one, but
two of the most obscure players who ever made it to the majors,
however briefly, featured on one card. These 1966 Braves rookie
pitchers each had very short MLB careers.
Topps' 1966 release of this card is the equivilant of a recording
company, back in the old days of vinyl singles, releasing a
"Double B-side" 45.
