1976 Kellogg's Card Backs - Card Numbers 52 - 54

Almost done with this set.  There are only 57 cards in this set, so I've only got one more post after this one.


#52 - Llindblad


He set a record by playing 385 games without committing an error - 1966 to 1974.  That wasn't enough to keep his Kellogg's card from having an error in the stats.

Not on the card - he pitched one inning of a combined no-hitter in 1975.



#53 - Thurman Munson



Munson won the 1970 Rookie of the Year award.  I like how they describe him as "stocky".



#54 - Steve Garvey



The 1974 NL MVP had a great season in 1975 with career highs in average, hits and doubles.  He made the all-star team in 1974 as a write-in candidate.  He then went on to win the MVP award in the game.

Not on the card - even though the Cubs finally won the World Series I haven't changed my thoughts on Steve Garvey.
