This Card Surprised Me - Are There Others Out There?

Kellogg's cards were not taken as action shots at all.  It seems like great care was taken to get an image of the player that was acceptable.  With other older cards that wasn't always the case.  Can anyone find another Kellogg's card where the player might want another photo?  

I found one in the 1978 set.  Check out the Rick Reuschel card that is now on my home page.



And here is the Reuschel card by itself.  Don't they normally at least get the guy with his eyes open?



Maybe Reuschel was asked about his 22-0 loss to Pittsburgh before this photo was taken.  In the game he got one out and gave up eight runs.  I don't want to give him too much credit for getting an out because it was a sacrifice fly by Dave Parker.

This was a memorable game since Rennie Stennett went 7-for-7.  Stennett also got a hit against Rick's brother Paul.  Rookie John Candelaria got his eighth win for the Pirates.  

For those who follow baseball today - the game still only took two hours and 35 minutes.

    22-0 and it only took 2 hours and 35 min. I sure miss the good old days.

    He got a hit off each Reuschel brother? They didn't call them the "We Are Family" Pirates for nothing....
