“Rapid Robert” had reinvented himself by age 34. His fastball, while solid, was no longer over-powering. He began to use his strong curveball and introduced a change-up. He won 22 games in ‘51, struggled with lower back pain in ‘52 and rebounded nicely in ‘53. Here he is in his famous wind-up posture—he never looked better! This is the only MINT copy of this card. The color is perfect.
