From the card back: Some people wait to be invited to spring training, others have several teams fawning over them. But in 1954 Moon simply decided four years in the minors was enough and showed up uninvited to Cardinals camp. Manager Eddie Stanky liked his confidence and played Wally as much as he could that spring. The decision paid off, as Moon went on to hit .304 with 193 hits on his way to copping NL Rookie of The Year honors. As he enters his fifth season in 1958, Moon owns a .298 career average and is arguably the most loved Redbird since Stan Musial appeared in the Gateway To The West.
