1959 Back-O'-The-Card: Jerry Lumpe and Tommy Carroll

JERRY LUMPE

"Although Jerry is listed as a third baseman, he can fill in handsomely at shortstop. In the 1958 World Series he performed at both positions and played errorless ball. Jerry is co-holder of the record for double plays for shortstops- five in one game."

-1959 Topps No. 272

TOMMY CARROLL

"Tommy had the problem of many of the Bonus Babies. He was signed to an attractive contract by the Yankees in 1955 and because of the old bonus rule, had to stay with New York for two years before he could go to the minors for seasoning. At Richmond in 1957, he started to make up for the two years of bench sitting and showed strong hitting ability.

Tommy was a star at Notre Dame."
