Card fact: Topps features its 1973 card design. When the '73 set was released, I'm guessing the most notable aspect of the cards was the position logo, with the silhouette figure that changed according to the position. Now, I think the most notable aspect of the set are all the bizarrely interesting action shots.
What I thought about this card then: Never saw it.
What I think about this card now: That is really an unfortunate photo of Reggie Jackson. You can barely tell it's him. Also, seeing Pete Rose listed as an outfielder is strange to me.
Other stuff: You can't pick two bigger representatives of 1970s baseball than Reggie Jackson and Pete Rose.
Back facts: What is the "American League Player of the Year"? Isn't that the AL MVP award? I don't understand.
Other blog stuff: Stevie Nicks -- who was everywhere in the mid 1970s -- was born on this date and is 62!
