I'm not sure if it was the big ol' trophy or the big ol' glove that first drew my attention to this baseball card.
I'm partial to the big trophy. I think it's one of the best designs elements Topps came up with for its cards.
As a kid I remember opening up a pack and looking for the trophy. It usually meant a good card of a good player.
And this rookie card of current Dodgers manager Joe Torre doesn't disappoint.
And what about that glove? Torre won a gold glove in 1965 to go along with an All-Star appearance, one of nine he would make as a player.
