The front: Looks like Yankee Stadium. Sofield is staring up into the right field grandstand? Or admiring the Yankee Stadium facade (over the scoreboard in this incarnation of Yankee Stadium)? Maybe his teammate is telling stories about just how far Mickey Mantle hit a ball. Or maybe Josh Gibson - with this week's news about the Negro Leagues we can now say there has been a major leaguer who hit a ball all the way out of Yankee Stadium.
The back: Sofield's four singles were not enough as the Twins fell to California, 11-6.
The player: Outfielder Rick Sofield played for the Twins from 1979 to 1981. In 207 games he hit .243 with 9 HR and 66 RBI.
The man: Sofield has coached high school and college baseball teams, as well as in the Pirates organization for several seasons.
My collection: I have six of his cards, from 1979 to 1982. I would be interested in trading for 1982 TCMA Toledo Mud Hens #21.
