Jim Bouton, 1962 Topps #592
The Rookie Parade set was one of the most difficult and expensive to acquire. The entire set is an extreme short print and all but the Menke card features a significant player. I bought the four cards together at a KC show.
Bouton is best known for his book "Ball Four" He was subsequently blackballed from the game of baseball. Bouton was actually a really good pitcher.
