"His Walk About" - Frank appeared in 71 games with the Washington Senators from 1951-53.  He saw the most action in 1952, playing in 53 games and collecting 29 hits in 112 at-bats, good for a .259 average.  He retired with 41 hits, 13 RBI's and a respectable .279 mark next to his name.

"That's Not a Knife" - It's a .423 batting average on Frank's baseball reference page.  In 1951 Frank had 11 hits in just 26 at-bats as a September call-up, putting .423 on his resume that will be there for as long as people keep track of these sorts of things. 

"More of a love bite really..." - There is some darkness in the lower left corner of this card.  I think it's a result of sunlight (or lack of), but it could also be water damage.

"Down Under" - Frank is card #307 in the 1952 Topps set. Despite his relatively brief cup of coffee in the big leagues, Frank was fortunate enough to land in two Topps sets.  Hopefully he has grandkids that appreciate this.  I prefer his '52 to his '53, but they're both nice cards, and in another stroke of luck for Campos, they're not too similar. That cuts the '53 set's lead to 35-31-7.
