Designed and manufactured as a print sample by Superior Printing Co. Shipped quickly and securely, inside a brand new soft sleeve and rigid toploader. ABOUT WILLIE KEELER: Willie was a little guy who used the smallest bat size in baseball, 28 ounces. Yet he was a power hitter, smacking plenty of triples, doubles, and an occasional home run. Keeler played in the deadball era. If you ever want to know what it was like, take a regular baseball and let it soak in water for a day or two. Then play catch with it or smack it with a wooden bat. That's what it felt like in Willie's day. Willie started his big league career as a third baseman. He was one of only two lefthanded third basemen in baseball history. He also played 2nd base and shortstop as a lefty a few times early in his career. He is a pioneer of what became known as "the Baltimore Chop" - where the batter chops down on the ball, causing it to bounce high into the air, giving the runner time to get to first before he can be thrown out. Keeler was also responsible for the rule change which made a foul bunt count as a third strike. He was probably the best bunter and maybe the best leadoff hitter ever. Guaranteed book value: This card will always be worth more than you paid. The minimum "book value" is the price above. I will buy this card back from you for what you paid any time you ask. Next week, next year, or ten years from now. I can do this only because I know that this card is worth more than I am selling it for. About Grouchy: 21 years selling cards online.

As a kid I loved baseball and football, and collected cards starting in 1959 - that's 60 years, but it feels like yesterday. I have bought and sold millions of sports cards over the years.
