Ethan Allen
Outfielder, Ethan Allen (1904-1993) had a nice 13-year MLB career (1926-1938) where he hit an even .300 lifetime with 1325 hits in 1281 games. Yes, that game (All-Star Baseball) was Allen's invention. The rights to the game probably helped him live quite comfortably because the game was around for about 40 or 50 years and kept being updated with new current players as well as oldtimers from other eras. It was great for the pre-home computer Age. He was also a college baseball coach after retiring as a player. Thanks for his photos. My family had one version of it in the 1950s (circa 1956) and it helped you learn about current and former players. It had a set of player discs from current all-stars and one set that included stars of the '20s & '30s, so besides playing the current National stars against the current Ameican league stars you could also play one era against another. We'd often play the '50s stars like Ashburn, Mantle Snider, Mays and Kluszewski etc. against a '20s and '30s team of Ruth, Gehrig, both Waners, and Bottomley, etc. I bought another version of it around 1992 or 1993 and that was the last version of it they produced, as far as I know. I could have called the '90s version the Paul Molitor version since he seemed to be the biggest star.. He must have hit around .600 or so in the All-Star games we played, absolutely killing National League pitching.

Wilmer Mizell, 1952
The 1961 Topps set was the first set I collected as a kid. Right now I'm trying to make 1961 Topps type cards for players who were not included in the set. In most cases the left out players had only a few at bats or innings pitched but Mizell was not one of those. He had 155 innings in 1960 and 100 in 1961.

In fact I have completed 62-68 and have seasons 57-60 and 69-72 that I used custom templates. You can get them here.. If you only want 1961. grab the one called 1961 and then all the updates.

Yankee on the right is either Bill Knickerbocker or Joe Gallagher.

I had looked at all three of those players plus Monte Pearson and it appears it is Bump Hadley. The combination of the pointed nose, heavy legs and shape of the ear just added up. Thanks for the input, guys.

Don Mason - Colorized
A fast colorization for a 1970 Card project. Wish I could have spent more time on it, but I figured I'd share it anyway.
