I found another La Pizza Royale card of a former Durham Bulls player this week. Last week I made a post with my first card from this set featuring Rusty Staub. This is obviously a manager card from the set, but Gene Mauch was a player while he was on the Durham Bulls during the 1943 season. He has a few 1950s cards a player, but not manu.
Here is the new Pizza Royale card.
There are several different color variations for each of these cards. This is the blue/purple card of the long time Major League manager. There are a total of four colors in the set: blue, green, yellow, and red. Hopefully I will get around to getting all four color variations of both the Mauch and Staub cards, but it is going to take a little bit of patience.
This is my second Gene Mauch card that I have added to my Durham Bulls collection. I know I have a bunch of his cards with the Angels and Twins too, but those are all sorted into sets. This was my first from earlier this year......
Hopefully I will have a few more La Pizza Royale cards to post in the coming weeks.

Might need to track down a copy of that Sweet Spot Classic autograph for my Expos PC... although I remember Mauch for his years with the Angels, not with the Expos. Best of luck on completing both rainbows!
ReplyDeleteI remember him as the Angels manager too. Although, growing up in a Cardinals household, I also know that Mauch was the manager of the 1964 Phillies. They were something like 8 games ahead of the Cardinals with 2 1/2 weeks to play, and basically lost almost every game down the stretch. Still a good manager, everyone has their bad moments.
