Happy Tigers Card Tuesday!
🐅⚾️ In 1977, even though he'd already retired from a 15 year big league career, Topps did issue Bill Freehan a card, his final base card.
1977 Topps #22 Bill Freehan
1️⃣9️⃣6️⃣3️⃣➖️1️⃣9️⃣7️⃣7️⃣
👉 In 1976, the 34 year old Freehan, my All-Time favorite ballplayer, played in just 71 games, batting .270, w/ 5 HRs and 27 RBI.
Although still a relatively young man, he retired instead of accepting a trade to the Philadelphia Phillies for a young catcher named Bob Boone.
🤔 How about you favorite ballplayer and his final base card?
👉 Do a blog post using that player's last base card that was in a major set of baseball baseball cards, i.e., 1977 Topps.
👉 Blog Bat Around Post Rules-
Must be the last base card issued by Topps, Fleer, Donruss, Upper Deck, etc, for that player.
👉 No Inserts, Relic, Autographed, or specially made cards, no new releases, or buybacks.
Let's have some fun!
I have a couple Freehans, but not this one.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite player was a contemporary of Boone's.
