The McGriff and Price cards are interesting.
ReplyDeleteGo Rays!
The McGriff was a stadium give-away I think. Or from a pack that was.
DeleteDefinitely rooting for the Rays at this point.
That '67 card of the "Toy Cannon" is awesome!
ReplyDeleteYeah, he was one of the few bright spots in their early years.
DeleteMike Scott was the man. The Astros sure had some studs on the mound. Scott. Ryan. J.R. Richard. It's a shame Richard's career was cut short. Can you imagine a rotation with those three guys in it?
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's a good trio.
