Card 71 out of 72.
The same date as teammate Tony Perez. As noted in that post, spring games hadn't started yet, and it was a bad day for Britain with a fatal IRA bombing in London and a Royal Navy ship sabotaged in Beirut.
The full-color photo was used for his 1974 Topps Puzzle.

ReplyDelete7/26/70 was an impressive day for Bench. And that 1974 Topps Puzzle is awesome. If Topps created an oddball issue with puzzle featuring players and team, I'd be all over it.
ReplyDeleteBoth those items are fantastic!
