1976 SSPC Jose Cruz

 

The card, in brief: Not a whole lot to say abut this photo, but it's cool how his helmet is so shiny that the H on the logo is reflected onto the bill.

Playing career, in brief:  Cruz played in nineteen seasons for the Cardinals, Astros and Yankees. A two-time All-Star, he had his best seasons in Houston, including leading the NL in hits in 1983. Overall in 2,353 games he hit .284 with 165 HR, 1,077 RBI and 317 SB.
