The back: Pattin was one of the few remaining active Seattle Pilots. The last Pilot to retire was Fred Stanley.
The man: His nickname was "Duck", as he was known for an profane impression of Donald Duck, famously chronicled in Ball Four. He was the Head Baseball Coach at the University of Kansas in the 1980s, and was heavily involved in Royals alumni activities. He died of a heart condition in 2018.
My collection: I have 17 of his cards, from 1969 to 1981. I would be interested in trading for 1978 SSPC 270 #231.
Don't remember Pattin, but I do remember watching Stanley play with the 80's in the early 80's. That piece of Pilots trivia is interesting.
