Known as "The Walking Man" during his playing days due to his uncanny knack for drawing bases on balls (although he only batted .254 for his career, he had a career on-base percentage of a whopping .394!). Eddie, who was the third base coach for the 1969 Miracle Mets, is pictured here on his 1952 Topps card. A 1956 Topps card is shown below.
