Scratched from the lineup


(Card Reverse): "What can I say? For a short period in my life (1956-1959), I dreamed that some day I would appear on a baseball card wearing a Yankee cap."

Very sad to see. The New Topographics is one of my favourite eras and it's heartbreaking to see the passing of one of the key players in it. Hopefully some of his later work, such as Fault Zone, will come out in book form.
