My First Cards

The leadoff hitter for the AL Champion Milwaukee Brewers, Paul Molitor had his first great season in ’82 on his way to a Hall of Fame career while scoring a career best 136 runs.

Rickey Keeton played parts of 1980 & ’81, never making it back to the major leagues after a rough 7th inning on a summer night in Milwaukee facing some of the best hitters of the period.

Thad Bosley might’ve become one of the best players you’ve heard of, if he’d been given more playing time. That probably sounds insane, but his statistics reveal some interesting details. He was much better at the plate when runners were on base than when they were empty. Beyond that, he looks like he’s trying to imitate Oscar Gamble on this card.
