I am working on the set from my youth. The one that got me into collecting baseball cards. The 1979 Topps set.
I just came across this Mark Belanger card. By 1979, Belanger had played in 13 big league seasons, AND HAD 19 HOMERS! Nineteen. Dude must have had a crazy glove.
6'2" 175
Dude DID have a crazy glove.
ReplyDeleteRafael Belliard hit 2 in 17 seasons!
ReplyDeleteLet me know when you get your list done. I have a ton of 79's if you need them. I don't have most of the big money cards, but can help with the rest.

Yeah and Belanger was a pretty decent size for that era.
ReplyDeleteGuess he was practicing the Baltimore Chop from the 1800's.
