Cake or gum? 1975 Elliott Maddox

 Last time we had a 5-5 split! Will there be a winner this time?

The Yankees were in the heart of their Shea Stadium era at this time. Lots of players milling about in the background on both cards, but Topps's card shows the left field outfield while Hostess shows the grandstand down the third base line. Though the backgrounds look quite different, Maddox appears to be standing in the area of the first-base-side on-deck circle, so these photos may well have been taken in the same shoot.

Maddox was coming off his best season in 1974, hitting .303 and earning a top-10 spot in MVP voting. Unfortunately, he badly injured his knee the next season and was never the same again. In 11 seasons for five teams, he hit .261 with 18 HR and 234 RBI. After his career he worked as investment banker, ice cream shop owner and foster care counselor. He also coached youth baseball in the US, Poland and Israel. The 75-year-old Maddox is now retired and lives in Florida.
