Indeed! Thanks, Big Willie. Feel free to nominate him in the new ATG card nominations. I plan to nominate Madison Bumgarner's 2016 season, he was one of my favorites as a Giants fan. We can only nominate one at a time, so welcoming you to do so for Campanella. :)

Babe Phelps' best season -- 1936. We only have one card of his (1937). A lefthanded hitting catcher, he hit .367, .421 OBP, .498 SA. He had 319 at bats, so a solid starter. This guy had a .310 career BA, he often gets overlooked (perhaps because of his defense). One of the Brooklyn Dodgers' colorful cast of characters in the 1930s.
