Vintage Backgrounds: 1966 Topps Tony Gonzalez.

 This 1966 Topps card of Tony Gonzalez has an usually good view of the fans for a card of this time. You can really see the 1965 fashions on the kids to the left and the couple (husband-wife? father-daughter?) to the right. This was likely taken when the Phillies came to town in July 1965. I wonder if any of this group came back the following month to watch the Beatles in their famous concert?

I also see #22 John Herrnstein in the dugout along with another Phillie relaxing in the dugout, probably the tail end of batting practice. This is a really great card with so much going on in it.

  1. The kids, and adults, are dressed exactly like one would expect them to be.
