#30 Tim Cullen
It isn't common to see a guy go from one team (Washington) then to Chicago and back to the first team. Remember, this is before free agency.
IT'S A FACT - both of Cullen's teams were in that game. Each team had three guys caught stealing and the White Sox had one picked off. Cullen pinch hit and got a walk. Hansen was 3-for-8 with 2 RBIs.
Not on the card - in both trades (Feb. 1968 and Aug. 1968) Ron Hansen was part of the deal for Cullen.
#29 Willie Stargell
He's listed as 210 pounds and baseball-reference.com goes with 188.
Another listing that mentions bad records - most consecutive strikeouts in two games.
Not on the card - he ended up playing almost 40% of his career games at first base.
#28 Mateo Alou
He's M. Alou on the front because his brothers are in the majors. That's better than being Re. Jackson or Ro. Jackson in a later set. He's more commonly known as Matty.
Hobby - skin diving. Is that big in his birthplace, the Dominican Republic?
Not on the card - Matty played 1,667 games while Felipe was in 2,082 and Jesus got his way into 1,380 games. That's 5,129 games. That doesn't even could son/nephew Moises who played in 1,942 games. Can any brothers top that amount?
