1959 Back-O'-The-Card: Bobby Shantz

"Bobby started 13 games for the Yankees last year and was called in to relieve 20 times. Aside from his hurling talents, he is one of the best fielding pitchers in baseball.

In 1952, Bobby won 24 of the A's 74 season wins."

-1959 Topps No. 222

1959 Back-O'-The-Card: Bobby Richardson

 "Although Bobby is listed as a second sacker, he can also cover the 'hot corner.' Experts say that a ball needs 'eyes' to get through the infield when Bobby is playing. 

Bobby led American Association second basemen in putouts and assists in 1956."

-1959 Topps No. 76

1959 Back-O'-The-Card: Jim Pisoni (Richmond Virginians)

 "Jim's solid performance at Denver last season pegs him as a valuable addition to the Braves' lineup."

-1959 Topps No. 259

1959 Back-O'-The-Card: Zack Monroe

"Zack was the No. 2 relief artist on the Yankees last year. His fine hurling when the chips were down helped New York take the American League pennant.
Zack is as cool as the most seasoned vet when he comes on the scene, no matter how many men are on base. Experts see a great future for this impressive freshman.
Zack attends Bradley University between seasons."

-1959 Topps No. 108

1959 Back-O'-The-Card: Gil McDougald

"During his Yankee career, Gil has been the top second baseman, the top third baseman and the No. 1 shortstop of the American League. As far as hitting, his grand slam homer in the 1951 World Series is an example. Gil once drove in six runs in one inning."
