Year: 1947-66

“ Nice old school card. ” -uncaian

“ Now that is the epitome of cool! ” -RoyalChief

“ Best wishes to who? The Exhibit Supply Company? ” -carthage44

“ Sharp looking piece, but I feel compelled to fill in the information missing from the back: Batted .178 in 277 plate appearances over 106 games with the hapless 1963 Mets (record 51-111). I don't study catchers very closely, but 15 errors and 11 passed balls in 487 total chances don't sound like reasons to overlook his offensive ineptitude. His mlb.com bio points out that in 1963, he was hit by pitches on five occasions. That was 16th-best in the NL, which probably earned him one of those purple "participant" ribbons normally reserved for elementary school athletics. ” -dilemma19

“ Great nickname. I guess those early Mets had to do something while losing 100 games. ” -NJDevils

“ Clearly the best name ever. Don't even try to say otherwise. Is that writing supposed to be there? ” -DarkSide830

“ Underappreciated set. ” -Dave Sosidka

Huh I guess when I wrote my comment I didn't submit, probably hit "preview". Dang it. Oh there is no "preview" maybe my comment was empty or nasty. I thought I said it was a cool vintage post card. Oh well.

In Korean, surnames come first. Thus, Shin-Soo Choo , Shin-Soo is the family name and Choo is his given name. Now if someone would only nickname him "Choo-Choo", he would be "Choo-choo Shin-soo Choo". Yes, I have too much time on my hands. Edited on: Jan 28, 2016 - 11:06AM

I was doing a search for anything Korean and I saw this come up. Wanted to correct you on your post. Surnames do come first in Korean but in your example of Shin-Soo Choo, it is incorrect. Choo is the family name and Shin-Soo is his given name. Thus in Korean, his name is Choo Shin-Soo. But when translated to English, surname comes last, Shin-Soo Choo.
