1978 Kellogg's Baseball Card Backs #22 - 24

Time to check on three more of the 1978 Kellogg's baseball cards. 

#24 - Ron Cey

Kellogg's decided to lead of the paragraph by reminding us that Cey hit .190 in the 1977 World Series.  They did mention that it certainly didn't take away from his great regular season.  He did hit over .300 and had a grand slam in the NLCS.  

Cey played in his fourth all-star game in 1977.

Not on the card - in 1981 he did win the World Series MVP Award.  He played in two more all-star games.  

Not on the card - the Cubs gave the Dodgers no one good for Cey.  The Cubs traded Cey to the A's for Luis Quinones, best known in my house (and probably only known in my house) because I caught his first career homer.

#23 - Willie McCovey

Willie had some great hobbies - reading and motion pictures.  That wouldn't leave him many guys to talk to in the locker room.  I like how the text is on the right since McCovey has stats from 1959 - 1977 on the back of the card.  

The 1966 stats have SanFrancisco listed differently than the other years.  Was this ever corrected?  I didn't see any corrected ones on ebay. 

Kellogg's sees him as a HOF-er.  He's 39 and has bad knees.  What else could he do?

Not on the card - he played almost 180 games over the next three seasons to get past 500 homers.

Willie passed away on Halloween of 2018.

#22 - Lenny Randle

Randle ended up being traded during spring training after getting into a fight with Rangers manager Frank Lucchesi.  The team suspended Randle and then traded him to the Mets where he had a great season.  

He is mentioned as an Arizona State alumnus.  

Not on the card - he got a degree from ASU and he played football along with baseball.
