	Baseball
		Baseball is played on a large scale in Latin America, Japan, and other places besides the United States, but it is in the United States that it thrives most both as a participant's and spectator's sport.
		Baseball's popularity is in part a result of the fact that almost every American boy plays the game at one time or another, and the lore of the game is intertwined with American life.
		Many baseball authorities believe that Koufax might have established himself as the greatest pitcher ever, but he was forced to retire because of a painful and chronic arthritic condition afflicting his pitching arm.

		It is the purpose of this article to revisit the evolution of the 1949 Bowman Baseball Set and the memories it generates.
		The Fall of 1949 printing (Series 5, 6 and 7) was not as plentiful as Series 1, 2, 3 or 4 as was the case for many sets of the '50s and '60s, when the "Boys of Summer" gave way to football as baseball interest waned.
		For the 1949 Bowman issue, these later Series are about twice as difficult to find as the first four Series cards, and include the even more difficult 7th Series variation cards.

		Unfortunately, he was a contemporary of Christy Mathewson, and even though he posted a seven-year run from 1904 to 1910 that is one of the great stretches in baseball history, he was overshadowed by the popular Giant.
