Patrick Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 Flip that Mudcat Grant card over (gently). Quote
Drew Peacock Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 I googled jazz and baseball cards...didn't find anything to add to this thread. I did find this CD on Amazon and thought some of you may be interested. Quote
Hot Ptah Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 Jim, Thanks for these references! I love them! Quote

Patrick Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 Relax. No point at all. Enjoying a baseball card of a relatively successful Cleveland Indian pitcher (...they are in relatively short supply). My card collecting days started about 15 years later. Quote

I thought that you meant that something amazing was going to appear on the other side! I remember Mudcat Grant well in 1965. He was the best pitcher in the American League and led the Twins to the World Series. If there had been a Cy Young award for each league then, instead of one award for all of baseball, he would have won the A.L. Cy Young award that year. Quote

Late 40s/50s slang term, roughly equivalent to cool. Just read an interview with Charles McPherson the other day circa '68 where he used it a couple of times. EDIT: Zora Neale Hurston's Harlem slang dictionary dates it back to the 1930s and defines it as meaning "perfect". Glossary of Harlem slang Edited June 18, 2009 by ghost of miles Quote
