Here’s a #miscutmonday post with a twist of #pinhole featuring the master of the #knuckleball #hoytwilhelm

A reliever pitching until age 49 - he didn’t develop his skill with the knuckleball late in his career to save his arm as most aging pitchers of the era - he threw it 90% of the time in high school also.

You wouldn’t know it from this card - but 1972 was the year of the #moustache

When asked later about his distinctive handlebar style #rolliefingers said he “wanted to be different and it stuck.” He wasn’t the catalyst for the #1972 #athletics #moustachegang tho- from the wiki:

The Mustache Gang is a term coined for the 1972 Oakland Athletics team; the Athletics broke traditionally conservative baseball views by sporting mustaches. From the change in American men’s fashion away from facial hair in the 1920s to the early 1970s, there had only been two baseball players who had facial hair during the regular season: Stanley “Frenchy” Bordagaray of the Brooklyn Dodgers, who was then ordered to shave by his manager, and Wally Schang of the Philadelphia Athletics.
This changed when A’s outfielder Reggie Jackson showed up to spring training with a fully grown mustache which would later be thought of as the catalyst that sparked the move away from the conservative baseball era. This move led to that year’s World Series to be dubbed “Hairs vs. Squares”, as the Oakland A’s Mustache Gang faced off with the conservatively clean-shaven Cincinnati Reds.

Mighty fine ‘59 here with a bit of a DIY flourish. Oh, yeah- it’s Stan the Man. Check out those stat lines - well the ones that are still visible anyway.
