The front: Day game batting at Shea Stadium in the Cubs’ old
powder-blue pinstripes. DeJesus played in seven day games at Shea that year (in
those days of unbalanced schedules, the Cubs visited their division rivals on
three different weekends) he had five hits in 25 at bats.
The back: Odd that they mention his 1978 assists, as he also
led the NL in 1977, and with a greater number (595).
The player: DeJesus was a slick-fielding shortstop with a
pretty good bat for the Cubs and Phillies in the late 1970s and early 1980s. He
ended his career with brief stops with the 1985 Cardinals, 1986 Yankees, 1987
Giants and 1988 Tigers.
The man: DeJesus was a minor league coach for many years but
now appears to be retired.
My collection: I have 23 of his cards, from 1978 to 1989. I
would be interested in trading for 1976 SSPC #76.
