One of the great Sunday strips. Lucy gets a Shlabotnik card (1963, I think). Charlie Brown doesn't have a Shlabotnik and offers Miss Van Pelt a ton of cards, worth a small fortune today for one common. Lucy turns him down ("he's kind of cute") but throws him in the trash.

One of them is a big name who you may be able to get. The other there's no way without looking it up.

Neither is active now, unsurprisingly

Just saw a wild one on instagram: Name the pitcher that threw a no-hitter 17 days after being struck by lightning.

He was struck by lightning in the 9th inning of a game and finished it after being revived (then tossed the no-hitter 17 days later)
