Yup, that's him. I'm surprised that he actually was around 6 seasons. You've got me interested a little more about this obscure character. I'm going to go do a little research.

Who was not used as often but was also a pinch runner; has some SSPC cards from that era; but no Topps cards either.

Two great names to add to our list

Rich, I think you mean Don Hopkins. He appeared in 82 games with the A's in 1975 but only had 6 AB while scoring 25 runs. Stole 21 bases and caught 9 times. He also appeared in the 1976 Tucson Toros Team Issue set that I did for them.

That's exactly whp I meant --

That era of A's pinch runners was a fascinating bit of baseball history
