Don Mossi


Born on today's date, Don Mossi.

"Mossi's ears looked as if they had been borrowed from a much larger species, and reattached without proper supervision. His nose was crooked, his eyes were in the wrong place, and though he was skinny he had no neck to speak of, just a series of chins that melted into his chest. An Adam's apple poked out of the third chin, and there was always a stubble of beard because you can't shave a face like that." - Bill James

Don has to be the guy most "collected" just for his looks. I know I'm one of those collectors.

I'm with Hackenbush... I picked up his 1955 Bowman based solely on his ears. I had never heard of him before seeing that card.

He doesn't have a "good side" or even a "good small area".
