Ty Cline, 1961 Topps

Had this one for a while. 1961 seems to be the first year that wasn't too ahrd to find. The card features the 1961 Rookie Star!

An early find. Holds the lovely distinction of having the highest strikeout rate in major league history by a batter.

One of the earliest cards I had from the period. Cool name, but is the first player I haven't found a wikipedia entry for.
