A simple spring training headshot.
March 9, 1973 in Daytona Beach.
That day in Daytona Beach, the Expos beat the Twins, 3-1. Meanwhile, the Expos were the only National League to vote for using the new "designated hitter" in spring games against the AL teams that were experimenting with it.
This is probably when the photo for Foli's regular Topps card was taken.
Elsewhere on March 9, China announced that they would free American John Downey, who had been imprisoned there since 1952; Heinz Wossipiwo set the world ski jump record (554 feet); and in a small bar in Amityville, Long Island called The Daisy, a rock band called KISS performed for the first time in the designs and makeup that they would later make world-famous.
That's a pretty interesting factoid there about KISS.
ReplyDelete3/9/73 was a pretty busy day. I'd love to see if Topps made a card that featured my birth date... since these dates are right around that time.
