The front: Difficult to tell what park he is in. Looks like
a batting cage in the background. Maybe Shea Stadium?
The back: Alexander was the rare career pinch-runner.
The player: After the Herb Washington experiment failed in
1974, the A’s brought in an actual baseball player as their “designated
runner”, and had some success in the role. Alexander pinch-ran 271 times in his
374 game major league career. As a pinch runner he stole 91 bases and scored 89
runs. All three marks are MLB records.
The man: Not sure what he is doing now. During the 2014
World Series he was interviewed by a Boston radio station, showing admiration
for Royals speedster Terrance Gore.
My collection: I have five of his cards, from 1976 to 1982.
I would be interested in trading for 1976 SSPC #501.
