Interesting in-pack regional from 1963, courtesy of Milwaukee Sausage.  Celebrating members of the Seattle Rainiers, this 11 card set is a tough, tough one.  Bill MacLeod, pictured here on the grease stained front, pitched two games for the Red Sox in 1962, which was the extent of his major league career. He's still looking full of hope here but it was all over for him in the bigs when this card was issued and he retired in 1967, despite a 1965 season where he went 18-0 for the Pittsfield (Mass.) Red Sox of the AA Eastern League.  You can see the imprint of five hot dogs on both sides, as product stains are the norm for this scarce issue which was clearly the "filling" in a sausage sammy.
