This is another of those 3D cards that says one thing if you look at it one way and another if you hold it the other. "Great Moments in baseball" and "Fenway Park, October 4, 1946" the other. The reference is to Lou Boudreau.
I like these cards the more I look at them- before the scanning project they were just a stack of tiny cards that I didn't know what to do with. Actually taking the time to read the backs of the cards has really given me an appreciation. I hope some wee fan out there is reading stuff like this and learning about the history of the game.
This card talks about several interesting things- first, the very first "end of the season playoff game" to establish who won the pennant, between the Red Sox and Indians, and second, the game that Lou Boudreau had! The guy was the shortstop AND the manager. He hit two homeruns and scored three runs himself. The starting pitcher for the Indians was a rookie, Gene Beardon.
Even though my Red Sox lost this game, what a great game!
