1976 SSPC Chris Speier

 

The card: Some of the Giants players are photographed at twilight, making them borderline night cards. This one might be one of the darkest nights seen on a card.

Playing career, in brief:  Speier came up with the Giants in 1971 and was an All-Star the next three seasons, mostly because of his defensive reputation. He never hit much, but stayed in the league until 1989. In 19 seasons for five teams, mostly the Giants and Expos, he hit .246 with 112 HR and 720 RBI.

Post-playing career, in brief:  After his playing career he was a major league coach for seven different teams between 2000 and 2020. He appears to now be retired.

My collection: I have 54 of his cards, from 1972 to 1990. I would be interested in trading for 1974 Topps Stamps #NNO.
