About Myron Ginsberg
Born Myron Nathan Ginsberg in New York City in 1926 and raised on the Detroit sandlots, the left-handed-hitting catcher was signed by Tigers scout "Wish" Egan in 1944 and began his pro career in Class D at Jamestown, where he played alongside future Hall of Famer Nellie Fox. After Army service in the Philippines during World War II, he debuted for Detroit on September 15, 1948, and went on to a 13-season big-league career (1948–1962) with the Tigers, Cleveland Indians, Kansas City Athletics, Baltimore Orioles, Chicago White Sox, Boston Red Sox and New York Mets. Detroit's regular catcher in 1951–52, he was behind the plate on May 15, 1952, for the first of Virgil Trucks' two no-hitters that season. Nicknamed "Little Joe" after his father, a name that stuck for life, he batted .241 with 414 hits, 20 home runs and 182 RBI over 695 games, and closed his career as an original 1962 New York Met. This is his rookie card in Topps' landmark first flagship set.
