Fryman swapped for Jim Bunning and Tony Perez 9 years apart. In that time he changed uniforms and spelling of his name but not his patented no-ball overhead windup. https://t.co/ihR4uyg0d1 — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Nicholson was part of the 1963 Wilhelm-Aparicio trade. In 1967, he and Bob Bruce went to Braves for Ed Mathews, Arnie Umbach and Sandy Alomar Sr. https://t.co/WXXFGXs5i8 — PolitiTweet.org

Al Smith was part of two deals in which Hall of Famers were traded for each other: 1957 swap of Early Wynn for Minnie Minoso and 1963 trade of Luis Aparicio for Hoyt Wilhelm. https://t.co/mpUbPWVN47 — PolitiTweet.org

Sixto Lezcano was traded for three Hall of Famers in less than a year. Brewers sent him to Cards December 1980 for Fingers and Simmons. Then, in December 1981, Lezcano was part of deal that brought Ozzie to Cardinals. https://t.co/qxsIopfCRC — PolitiTweet.org

@KeithOlbermann @Topps As a set-completist, I consider the pose variations, revised Angels team card and Buhl/Tasby airbrushings to be essential. I have never been interested in the mere tint variations. But that’s just me. — PolitiTweet.org

In addition to having two photos in the 1962 set, Hal Reniff cards had two checklist numbers on back. Some are erroneously listed as #139 and others correctly as #159. https://t.co/6raMhn6Jto — PolitiTweet.org

.@Topps must’ve figured Carl Willey would be traded, initially running a hatless shot and later subbing in a shot in his Braves cap. He was sold to the Mets the following year. https://t.co/C5F4jYEjwC — PolitiTweet.org

Lee Walls, selected by Mets in 1961 expansion draft, was traded to Dodgers before 1962 season. He’s depicted hatless in former Cubs and Phillies uniforms. https://t.co/tyiaxdokst — PolitiTweet.org
