The Chicago Tribune had a story about this guy who tweets about sports from the 1970s. Shockingly, the paper chose a tweet that included a Kellogg's card. A clip from today's article is below.
Since the author has got to be around my age I'd probably enjoy reading his stuff but that's not something I do.
The White Sox fan was disappointed to pull out a Wayne Nordhagen card in 1979? After checking Wayne's stats, I could see why. Nordhagen had hit .301 in 1978, but he only batted 206 times. Those 206 ABs were more than his total from his first two years (177).
He only played in 500 career games with four different teams. Although he didn't reach the majors with them, he was with three other teams - Yankees, Braves and Phillies (twice).
The writer doesn't add anything else about this card, but there are some interest comments to his tweet.
Any Sox fan would be disappointed pulling a Nordhagen card at any time in his career.
ReplyDeleteWell, Nordhagen was pretty much the same thing as his counterpart, Bill Nahorodny. And Mike Squires.
ReplyDeleteNo one was like Squires - lefty at third base a bunch of times. Great memories. Spanky also played catcher a few times. I don't know if he played catcher when the Sox wore the shorts.
