The front: Very nice batting cage shot at Yankee Stadium.
Fans are already starting to file into their seats. (I don’t know if it was the
case in 1980, but in my experience fans are allowed in after the Yankees take
batting practice, so you can just watch the other team).
The back: Landreaux actually split his 1977 pretty evenly
between AA El Paso and AAA Salt Lake City, putting up eye-popping numbers in
both stops.

The player: Though he never lived up to his superstar minor
league numbers, Landreaux had a very respectable 11-year career in the major
leagues. In 1,264 games for the Angels, Twins and Dodgers he hit .268 with 91
HR and 479 RBI.
The man: Landreaux works as a coach and mentor to urban
youths, particularly in his role as manager of the MLB Urban Youth Academy’s
summer collegiate team.
My collection: I have 27 of his cards, from 1979 to 1988. I
would be interested in trading for 1984 Fleer Star Stickers #2.
This the card that Keith Olbermann says pictures his jacket and pant leg (on the right).
