Year: 1952

Set: Topps (Rate)

Card: #206 Joe Ostrowski


“ I was going to say that he looks more like a math teacher than anything else, and then I read the back of the card, and see that his nickname was "The Professor". It fits! I just looked him up on Wikipedia, if that is correct, he passed away in 2003. It also says he actually was a school teacher for three years before his MLB career and went back to it when he was done playing. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Sad and determined look. ” -Don41

“ Bueller....Bueller....Bueller ” -SFC Temple
