1981 Topps Greg Luzinski

 

The front: The most interesting thing in this photo is that you can clearly see the Shea Stadium scoreboard reflected in Luzinski's glasses.

The back: Luzinski had a grand slam and a three-run double in that game. Both gave Philly the lead in a see-saw game they ended up winning 13-10. Philly nearly blew a 7-run ninth-inning lead, as Atlanta scored four in the ninth and had the tying run at the plate in the inning.

The player: "The Bull" was one of the big stars of the great Phillies teams of the late 1970s and early 1980s. He was twice a runner-up for NL MVP and led the NL in RBI in 1975. Though 1980 was a down year for him, he had some big hits in the NLCS to help propel the Phillies to their first-ever World Championship. After that season the Phillies sent him to the White Sox where he played for four more seasons.

The man: After spending several years as a high school baseball and football coach, the fan favorite returned to Philadelphia with a barbecue stand inside Citizens Bank Park.

My collection: I have 36 of his cards, from 1972 to 1985. I would be interested in trading for 1971 Topps #439.
