#51 - Carl Yastrzemski
There isn't much room on the card back since every year of stats is shown. Yaz isn't letting age slow him down. In 1974 he led the Red Sox in batting, RBIs, doubles and run.
Not on the card - Yaz played until 1983, surpassing 100 RBIs twice more. He led the team in RBIs in 1976 with 102. I would have thought that Jim Rice or someone else would have led the team.
#50 - Cesar Geronimo
The Reds expect big things from him in 1975 after an injury slowed him in past seasons.
Not on the card - like Yaz, Geronimo played until 1983. His stats in 1975 and beyond didn't seem to change much from previous years.
#49 - Luis Tiant
I didn't know that Tiant was released by the Twins in 1971. Kellogg's said that the Twins thought that his bad back was a chronic condition. He won 58 games for Boston in the last 3 1/2 years including at least 20 during 1973 and 1974.
Not on the card - Tiant ruined my 1983 theme by playing his last game in 1982.
Not on the card - he finished in the top six in the Cy Young voting in 1972, 1974 and 1976. He received MVP votes in all three seasons.
Not on the card - he won 147 games after being released by Minnesota.
