182 Packs of Baseball - Day 144 - Twice the Kemp

The 1952 Topps set features Ed Blake on card #144.  In 1962, Topps created a card to commemorate Babe Ruth's farewell speech.  It was card #144.  In the 2012 collection, the number 144 shows off the guy everyone is talking about these days: Mike Trout. Over the years, Indians have been pictured on Topps card #144 as well: 1957 Ray Narleski, 1989 Jay Bell, 1990 Bud Black, 2007 Cliff Lee, 2007 A&G Manny Acta, 2011 Diamond Cut Grady Sizemore, to name a few...
