1978 Topps Baseball #1 - Lou Brock '77 Record Breaker
- When this card came out I thought this would be one of those records that never would be broken. It took almost 50 years for someone to break Ty Cobb's record. Rickey Henderson came along and took care of that. Now Rickey's record is "a record that never will be broken."
- Baseball undergoes evolution and records that looked unreachable years ago may be reachable in the future. What do you think is the record that is least likely to be broken? Please vote in the poll on the right.
Congrats on the new blog!
ReplyDelete(I would occasionally post to a 1981 blog.)
sounds great! I think it would be interesting to see several different perspectives on 1981. There are so many cards and sets to post about.
DeleteExcited for this new blog! I'd also love to see one for 1981 (that was my 2nd choice).
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Deleteglad to see this set getting another chance with a blog. i'd be down for a 1981 blog - i have some thoughts/memories/stories about a few cards from that set.
ReplyDeleteare you going to add a 'followers' thing to this blog? please?
Yeah -- I need to get the followers thing in there. I think I'll get a 1981 blog going in the next couple of weeks or so. I'm looking forward to seeing the posts from different people about that great hobby year.
DeleteGood luck on the new blog.
ReplyDeletethanks! :)
DeleteOne thing that's odd about this photo is that even though it's at Shea Stadium, Lou seems to be in his home uni, rather than the Cards road powder blues.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. My first thought was that perhaps they took the picture at an All Star Game. The 1977 All Star Game was played in New York, but it was at Yankee Stadium. Perhaps someone can shed some light on this.
