1978 Topps Baseball # 125 - George Scott

• This was George Scott's last year as a starting first baseman. He was out for about five weeks from late April to early June. He initially went out due to back trouble. George came back from the disabled list on May 15 and broke the middle finger on his throwing hand and was out for another couple of weeks. Scott slumped to his lowest offensive numbers since 1968. He appears to be in a jovial mood on this card though.
• Scott passed away on July 28, 2013.
