#-1 1979 Highlights Brock/Yaz




Not a bad start to a set with two future Hall of Famers in Carl Yastrzemski  and Lou Brock being noted on card # 1 for each reaching 3,000 hits. While Yaz is those awful Red Sox uniforms of the 70's I have to admit I still love those old Cards uni that Brock is wearing. This would also be Brock's last appearance on a Topps card since he announced beforehand that 1979 would be his last season therefore no individual card was made for him. In 79 Brock hit .304 and stole 21 bases. Not a bad end for one of the greats.
