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.

Roy Campanella
Roy Campanella broke into Negro League baseball in 1937 at age fifteen with the Washington (later Baltimore) Elite Giants, then starred in the Mexican League before joining the Brooklyn Dodgers' system in 1946. He debuted with Brooklyn on April 20, 1948, and spent his entire major-league career as the club's catcher, helping the Dodgers to five National League pennants and their only Brooklyn-era World Series title in 1955. An eight-time All-Star from 1949 to 1956, the squat, powerfully built receiver won three National League Most Valuable Player awards — in 1951, 1953, and 1955 — the very seasons celebrated on his three 1975 Topps MVP-subset cards (#189, #191, #193), which each pair that year's National and American League winners. His 142 RBI in 1953 set a Dodgers single-season record that stood until 1962, and he threw out 57% of base stealers, still the highest caught-stealing rate in major-league history. Known as "Campy," a shortening of his surname, he finished with a .283 average, 260 home runs, and 1,019 RBI before a car crash in January 1958 paralyzed him and ended his career. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1969.
