When I saw Art Mazmanian displayed in the In Memoriam section, I thought of another Mazmanian that I knew of, and noticed a few odd coincidences in their profiles:

Art Mazmanian was born in May 1927, in the Motor City, and played for Southern California.

John Mazmanian was born in May 1926, in Southern California, and was a race car driver.

Nothing Earth-shattering, I know, but it made me do a double and triple take when I was reading thier profiles.

I love the weird stuff like that. I'm familiar with Big John Mazmanian because his cars have been popular subjects with Revell.

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

Art Mazmanian had an interesting baseball life actually https://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/Art_Mazmanian ------------------------------- A man has to have goals — for a day, for a lifetime — and that was mine, to have people say, "There goes Ted Williams, the greatest hitter who ever lived."
