A Salute to Sy Berger, the Father Of the Modern Baseball Card
Posted Dec 27, 2014
For me, the diet was baseball, baseball games, baseball cards and pitching. That was my sustenance, and I suppose I should thank Sy Berger for his role as a vendor. I emptied my pockets of quarters and singles, and he filled my soul with baseball, one 3 ½-by-2 ½-inch slice of cardboard at a time. Berger, the longtime Topps executive considered the father of the modern baseball card, died on Sunday at 91.
