1978 Topps Baseball #4 - Brooks Robinson '77 Record Breaker


  • Here is one record that will be tough to break. Carl Yastrzemski tied the record in 1983, but he hung up his spikes and didn't break it. Derek Jeter is the active leader with 19 years with the New York Yankees (1995-2013).
  • It's a nice touch for Topps to do a "goodbye card" for Brooks in 1978. A similar thing was done for Al Kaline in 1975.

  1. You would think Topps would have had a little more recent shot of a future hall of famer like Robinson. This was in Shea Stadium, so it was taken in 1975 at the latest.
