Back to the Front! Athletics card back du jour...

Art Ditmar

MY BIGGEST THRILL IN BASEBALL by Art Ditmar. There really isn't one big thrill, there are a lot of them. These are my biggest thrills: My first and only home run, hit my first at bat in "A" ball during the 1949 season at Savannah. Then, I pitched 2 consecutive 4-0 shutouts at Ottawa during the 1954. season. I also pitched a 15 inning 5-2 win over Richmond. Then I won my first major league game pitching the first 5 innings of an 8-6 win over the Yankees on the last day of the 1954 season.
