Roy Campanella was born 103 years ago today. Here is my display of his vintage cards. I am only missing a few, and I have almost 500 different Campy cards in all. I tried to do a video, but it was too big for this platform. I did load it on X if you follow me there. @polakoff.bsky.social

Roy Campanella, born #OTD in 1921. This is my Roy Campanella display, the first time I’m sharing on #CardSky and an amazing new story to share that I haven’t told yet. The baseball on display was caught by my grandfather (a Giants fan) while on a date with my grandmother (a Dodgers fan). 1/

Yogi never minced words about this play. Lindsay told me a story about when he was in a nursing home, and his mind was going. However, baseball was the one thing that could bring him back. Lindsay was watching the MLB network as they were announcing the new Instant Replay rules. 1/2

Love this shot of Yogi and Campy, my two favorite catchers.
