The back: The only other MLB Biff, 1930s Reds pitcher Wysong, was actually named Harlan.
The player: Pocoroba played in parts of ten seasons for the Braves as a catcher, mostly a backup. He did make the All Star team in 1978 as an injury replacement for Johnny Bench. Overall in 596 games he hit .257 with 21 HR and 172 RBI.
The man: After his playing career, he worked in his family's sausage business in Atlanta. He died in 2020 at the age of 66.
My collection: I have 17 of his cards, from 1976 to 1984. I would be interested in trading for 1978 Hostess #99.
