1981 Topps Mike Hargrove

The front: Not sure what ballpark would have had a red wall in right field. Looks too big to be a spring training field.

The back: Hargrove made out in his only All-Star at-bat, a long flyout to right field off of Don Sutton.

The player: Hargrove is one of the few men to play over 1500 major league games and then manage over 1500 major league games. He won two pennants as a manager and is in the top 75 all time in on-base percentage.

The man: After a long managing and coaching career, he is now an Indians senior advisor. He shared his thoughts on baseball cards with this blog in 2009.

My collection: I have 27 of his cards, from 1975 to 1986. I would be interested in trading for 1976 Topps #485.
