Since we're having so much fun with Red Sox catchers lately, let's do another one. Sammy White was sort of the poor man's Jason Varitek -- his offensive numbers were far from Tek's level, but by all accounts he was a master at handling a pitching staff, a la Tek. You can read more about Mr. White here.
White was a Bowman exclusive in '54 and '55, which gives me a chance to create a Topps card for him. The head shot is same one used in the '56 Topps set, while the "action" shot is from one those glorious TCMA old-timers sets from the 1970s-80s. God, I loved those cards. Good, cheap quasi-unlicenesed cards of good-to-great players ... Excuse me, I have to go buy some now.
