1978 Kellogg's Baseball Card Backs - Next Up

Time for me to look into the card backs of the 1978 Kellogg's baseball card set.  Kellogg's took a few chances each year on player selection and they missed on a few guys in 1978.



Since I went to Goose Gossage Park in Colorado Springs again this summer I will start with his card.  He was a difference maker for many teams during his career.  

I was surprised to see that he only played one season with Pittsburgh.  I knew that he was a Cub for one season and that he played for the White Sox (5 years) and Yankees (7 years) for a while.   As a Cub fan I certainly remember him as a Padre in 1984.  He was with the Padres for four of his 22 seasons.   Add four more teams and he's got a lot of memorabilia just in uniforms.




This picture just made me feel good today.  Happy Labor Day.

    It's so weird seeing him in a Pirates uniform... without his Fu Manchu.

    I've had a few bumps in the road with my blogging. I should be back tomorrow.
