The card back format is interesting, given that Topps had to come up with something new for a "traded set" manager card. Looks like they were starving for ideas, given the factoid at the bottom of the card.
To paraphrase Bob Uecker, anybody can hang around 10 years if they hit .300, but it takes something special to hang around for 10 years in the low minors hitting .212
