Warren Spahn is in the conversation as the best left-handed pitcher in baseball history. The conversation to me includes Spahn, Randy Johnson, Sandy Koufax, Steve Carlton, Tom Glavine, maybe Whitey Ford, and then maybe some true old-timers like Lefty Grove, Carl Hubbell, and Eddie Plank.
We may now be in a real golden age for lefty pitchers that rivals the early 1960s, though, if guys like Clayton Kershaw, David Price, Chris Sale, and Madison Bumgarner can have longevity at their current high levels of performance.
At any rate, my Spahn collection contains 222 cards, including the individual pieces of the 1989 Donruss puzzle pieces as individual cards.
