Cake or gum? 1976 Denny Doyle

Last time it was an 8-0 shutout for Topps. Will Hostess get on the board this time?

The Hostess card has Doyle at Shea Stadium, with a dark blue sky behind him. I would guess this is a printing issue rather than the photo being taken near sunset. Meanwhile, Topps has a close-up of Doyle appearing to be following through on a swing, with the shadow of the batting cage on him. It would appear he is next to the cage, not in it.

Denny Doyle was a typical 1970s middle-infielder. He was a good, though not elite defender. He was an OK hitter with a little power, not an automatic out but not much of a threat. In 944 games between 1970 and 1977 with the Phillies, Angels and Red Sox, he hit .250 with 113 2B, 16 HR, 237 RBI and 38 SB. In 1978 he founded Doyle Baseball Camps, one of the earliest and most successful youth instruction organizations. He died in 2022.
