As you can see from the cards, Jim Bottomley's nickname "Sunny Jim" is quite appropriate as he seems to be smiling all the time. Bottomley is in both the National Baseball Hall of Fame and the Syracuse Baseball Wall of Fame, so I enjoy really finding cards of him.
Bottomley won the NL MVP award in 1928 with 20 triples, 31 home runs, 136 RBIs, and a .325/.402/.628 slash line. He finished his 16-year career with a .310/.369/.500 slash line.

My favorite card from this collection: I like the 2000 Grandstand card as it recognizes Bottomley as a Syracuse Baseball Wall of Famer, but I also love the 1961 Fleer cards.
What's yours?
