1978 Topps Baseball #60 - Thurman Munson

• Thurman Munson started the 1978 season going "incognito." He didn't want to talk to the press because he felt he was burned the previous year. Munson wrote (with Marty Appel) an autobiography in 1978.
• Munson's power numbers were down, but he was still a very valuable part of the Yankees. Thurman made his 7th (and final) All Star Game, but he didn't play in the game.
