About the players on this card
Yogi Berra
Yogi Berra signed with the Yankees out of St. Louis's Italian Hill neighborhood in 1943, then served as a Navy gunner's mate at Normandy before debuting in the majors in 1946. Over 18 seasons behind the plate for New York (1946-1963), plus a brief return with the 1965 Mets, he anchored a dynasty that won 10 World Series titles as a player, more than anyone in history, and appeared in 14 Fall Classics overall, setting Series records for games, at-bats, and hits. Berra earned three American League MVP awards, in 1951, 1954, and 1955, the trio saluted on his three 1975 Topps MVP-subset cards (#189, #192, #193). An 18-time All-Star, he caught Don Larsen's perfect game in the 1956 World Series, one of the sport's signature images. Nicknamed "Yogi" as a teenager when American Legion teammate Jack Maguire said he resembled a cross-legged Indian yogi from a newsreel, Berra later gave the game some of its favorite lines, including "It ain't over 'til it's over" during his 1973 Mets pennant run. He also managed the Yankees to the 1964 AL pennant and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1972.

Willie Mays
Willie Howard Mays Jr. broke into pro ball in 1948 with the Negro American League's Birmingham Black Barons, then signed with the New York Giants after graduating high school in 1950. Over 23 major-league seasons in center field — with the New York/San Francisco Giants (1951–52, 1954–72) and New York Mets (1972–73) — he won NL Rookie of the Year in 1951, two MVP awards (1954, 1965), the 1954 NL batting title, and that fall's World Series, capped by his over-the-shoulder catch off Vic Wertz in Game 1. A 24-time All-Star, he led the league in home runs four times and stolen bases four times, won 12 straight Gold Gloves, and finished with 660 home runs, 3,293 hits, and a .301 average. Teammates and writers called him "the Say Hey Kid" for his habit of greeting people whose names he didn't know with a cheerful "say hey" — a tag that outlasted every alternative sportswriters tried. His two MVP seasons both live on in this set's MVP subset: card #192 pairs him with 1954's winners, #203 with 1965's. Mays entered the Hall of Fame in 1979, his first year of eligibility, on 94.7% of the vote.
