#167 1981 Earned Run Average Leaders
Nolan Ryan was awesome, while Steve McCatty got credit for an ERA title he really didn’t win.
#165 1981 Victory Leaders
Every single one of the guys on this card had the exact same amount of wins in ’81, with 14. Another 4 pitchers were at 13, and could’ve easily had 14 too.
#164 1981 Stolen Base Leaders
Wow, now that’s a card. Two of the greatest base stealers of all-time, on the same baseball card. I absolutely loved this card when I was a kid, for that very reason. you can keep your home runs, steals and triples are far more exciting. Neither Tim Raines nor Rickey Henderson had any real trouble [...]
#162 1981 Home Run Leaders
Obviously, this is one of the coolest cards in the set when you’re an eight year old and I dubbed it “the card of five stars”. You’ve got 5 of the best players AND they’re the home run leaders! It all starts with Mike Schmidt, who led the National League in homers for the fifth [...]
#633 Mitchell Page
Some fluff of hair sticking out of his helmet, cleverly crafted facial hair, glasses with a little reflection in them, and an expression that could be saying “Woah, you’re kidding me, right?”
#113 Steve McCatty
Steve McCatty looks more like a nerdy kid who should be home playing baseball on a video game than actually in the major leagues. The plain and dull sense of the card is offset a little by the bright yellow and green theme, but it’s still just as boring as his career was in ’82
#60 Tony Armas
One of the best cards in the set. Great photo, that shows 3 All-Stars on one card. Not only did Tony Armas have a great card in ’82 but he also had some great perfomances on the field that season, including a record setting defensive game in Toronto
#671 Mike Davis
If I told you that someone batted .400 for the season in 1982, you’d probably look at me like I’m crazy. It’s true though, and it was Mike Davis.
