Johnny Sain, 1948 Bowman #12
This is another one from SportsFest in Chicago last summer. Most of my old vintage stuff was purchased there. The card seems really basic- '48 Bowman is the first "modern" set.
Sain is a legend- "Spahn and Sain then pray for rain" is a classic. He was one of the greatest pitching coaches and a great pitcher to boot. When he died a few years ago the Braves wore a patch for him on their sleeves.
