This Was Supposed to Be The Biggest One-for-One Trade in Baseball History? What About Trading Their Kellogg's Cards?

On this day in 1974 Bobby Bonds was traded for Bobby Murcer. The Site http://www.nationalpastime.com/ called Bonds the next Willie Mays and Murcer the next Mickey Mantle.

I'm going to look at their careers and their Kellogg's cards.

Bonds appeared in the 1973 and 1974 sets.  He didn't retire until 1981, after playing 14 seasons.

Murcer appeared in 1970, 1972, 1973, 1974 and 1976.  He played a lot longer than Bonds, playing from 1965 to 1983.  He didn't play in the majors in 1967 or 1968.

Bonds had 332 homers and 1,024 RBIs.  He added 461 steals and 914 walks to his .268 career average.

Murcher played in 1,908 games, just 59 more than Bonds.  Murcer had 252 homers, 1,043 RBIs while having a career average of .277.  He stole on 127 bases to go with 862 walks.

Bonds was a three-time all-star and won two Gold Gloves.  Murcer was an all-star five times and won a Gold Glove once.

Not exactly the next Mays and Mantle.

As for their Kellogg's cards, both fall into the same category - good player not in the Hall of Fame.
