Notes:Subtitle: 1941: The Games, the Gum, and the Glory

After some poorly written pieces on the game of baseball in 1941 and on the "history" of the gum included in packs of cards, the author posts photos of all the cards from the 1941 Play Ball, Double Play and Goudey card sets, accompanied by brief bits on each player — stats, teams played for, what they did after baseball, etc.

Review - Baseball Cards at the Edge of War

Pretty dull mostly, but with occasional interesting tidbits — like the fact that Jerry Priddy, after his career, mentored youth at baseball clinics and then got arrested for threatening to blow up a cruise ship if he didn't get $250,000.
