The Munson second year card immediately popped into my head. What a fantastic action shot of the Yankee Captain! I certainly wasn't a fan of the Bronx Bombers growing up, but I liked Thurman Munson a lot. And, that picture is exactly how I remember Munson, fearless behind the late. A part of me wishes the trophy wasn't included, as it obscures part of the photo. But , another part of me says (apparently with a New York accent), "fuhgeddaboudit it, kid. You don't mess with perfection!"
Put me down, also, for the 1979 Topps Paul Molitor. The card itself is a gem, The Ignitor wearing the classic 70s pinstripe uniform, with Tom Meindel's ingenious Brewers logo front and center on the helmet.
