The card, in brief: As I mentioned back when I started the "vintage equipment" series almost a year ago, that is Frank Tepedino's bat.
Playing career, in brief: Pocoroba played in parts of ten seasons for the Braves as a catcher, mostly a backup. He did make the All Star team in 1978 as an injury replacement for Johnny Bench. Overall in 596 games he hit .257 with 21 HR and 172 RBI.
Post-playing career, in brief: After his playing career, he worked in his family's sausage business in Atlanta. He died in 2020 at the age of 66.
My collection: I have 17 of his cards, from 1976 to 1984. I would be interested in trading for 1978 Hostess #99.
I remember Poco

ReplyDeleteYou don't see anyone named Biff anymore. I wonder if he was the last Biff to play professional sports?
