Item Description
2-5/8x3.75". The 1954 Red Heart set was produced by the Morrell Company and issued regionally with Red Heart brand dog food. The set consists of 33 cards, each with one of three different, evenly distributed, brightly colored backgrounds: 11 red, 11 blue and 11 green. A bust portrait of a broadly smiling player adorned the front of each card, placed against the solid backdrop. The clean design features the ballplayer's name within an elongated diamond near the bottom of each item, just above the team name printed along the bottom white border. The reverse carries a biography, statistics, and the Red Heart logo. The set features most of the stars and future Hall of Famers of the time, of which Stan Musial is the most difficult piece in the set, as his appearance was not only a short print, but also his only 1954 issue as he was absent from both the Bowman and Topps sets that year.
Warren Edward Spahn was an American professional baseball pitcher who played 21 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB). A left-handed pitcher, Spahn played in 1942 and then from 1946 until 1965, most notably for the Boston Braves, who became the Milwaukee Braves after the team moved west before the 1953 season. His baseball career was interrupted by his military service in the United States Army during World War II. A few of his many career accomplishments include being a 17 time All-Star, A Cy Young Award and World Series Championship in 1957, led the NL in strikeouts four times and threw two career No-Hitters. Warren Spahn was inducted into the National Baseball Hall Of Fame in 1973.
