Bob Anderson 1957

This will only please some Kansas City A's or '60s enthusiasts, but I thought it was odd enough to merit posting.

Bob Anderson, (mostly) reliever of the Cubs (1957-62) and Tigers (1963) was dealt to the A's with Rocky Colavito in a huge deal in the winter of '63-64. Despite being a more-than-adequate bullpen part (4.4 career WAR) he not only didn't make the '64 A's roster - before he knew it he was pitching for the Lewiston Broncs of the Northwest League alongside 19-year old infielder Tony LaRussa and 23-year old Marcel Lachemann.

Never saw him before in color for Kaycee, so here it is out of Topps Vault, plus one from Detroit.
