1978 Topps Baseball #348 - Del Unser



  • Although Del Unser played for several teams, I always think of him as a Phillie. Perhaps it's because the first card I saw of him was the 1974 card and he was pictured with the Phillies. Or perhaps it was because he was a member of the famous 1980 Philadelphia team.
  • Del had his toughest year (except his final season) of his career. He was in the starting lineup in eight of the Expos' first nine games, but after that his starts were infrequent (about 1-2 a month). 
  • 1978 Stats: .196, 2 HR, 15 RBI in 130 games (179 AB)
  • 1978 Highlights
    • April 9 - Had two hits, scored a run, and knocked in a run in a 5-0 win over the New York Mets
    • July 1 - Homered in the bottom of the 9th inning to lead the Expos to a 3-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals
