1981 Topps Joe Lefebvre

The front: Nice view of the Yankee Stadium façade, with Getty and Brut ads clearly visible. They probably purposely angled him away from the Marlboro ad in right field.

The back: Lefebvre’s team was Concord High School in Concord, NH. One of his teammates was future Giants GM Brian Sabean. They also played ball together at Eckerd College.

The player: In 447 games over six seasons with the Yankees, Padres and Phillies he hit .258 with 31 HR and 130 RBI.

The man: After his career he stayed in the Phillies organization as a coach. In 1990 his old buddy Sabean brought him to the Yankees, and in 1996 Sabean hired him again with San Francisco. He is currently a senior scouting advisor for the Giants.

My collection: I have 18 of his cards, from 1981 to 1985. I would be interested in trading for 1980 TCMA Columbus Clippers #26.
