Why this card is awesome: Because of those two dudes hanging out behind the lesser cousin McGriff. They look like they just stepped out of the 1970s.
Cool stat: McGriff got 23% of his career RBIs in just two of his games played.

This is one of my favorite cards.
Somewhere 2 dudes still stuck in the 70's, hangin out in the basement, listening to Foghat (SLOW RIDE!!!), combing their mullets, and just wondering where the time went, can say "We were immortalized on a TOPPS card!"
Check out this very similar card on Ben Henry's blog, a 1973 Burt Hooton:
