Why this card is awesome: Because it's one last glory shot for a retiring warrior, as this was Madlock's last card. Special bonus awesomeness for Topps catching another weird person in the background, and this time having that person actually overlap Madlock's photo. Is that guy carrying a bowling ball bag? Or a medical kit?
Cool stat: The 1985 Dodgers lost the NLCS to the Cardinals, but it wasn't Madlock fault, as he got 8 hits in 24 at-bats, including a double, 3 homers, and 7 RBI in 6 games.

i was fortunate enough to meet Mad Dog at the pirates fest this year.
solid career: over 2000 and over .300....
That man in the background is carrying the head of Manny Trillo in his bag. He won it at a carnival. Ring toss.
