- Here's an obscure record. It's pretty cool that Mr. McCovey was able to do this, but I think Topps was stretching things a bit for this card.
- Jeff King of the Pittsburgh Pirates hit two home runs in one inning in 1995 and 1996. To the best of my knowledge he was the only other player to accomplish this feat.
- This is a pretty rough looking card. This was the last year that I collected cards and didn't really care about the condition. I've managed to upgrade my 1974, 1976, and 1977 cards, but my 1975 and 1978 sets can really use some work.
- Lyle ended up making 899 appearances in his career (1967-1982) and never had a start.
- John Franco now holds this record. He appeared in 1,119 games from 1984-2005 without starting a single game.
- 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.
