Cake or gum? 1976 Chris Speier

Last time Topps cruised to an 8-1 victory. Who will win this time?

This is an interesting matchup - almost an identical pose, but two different locations. Speier must have been very consistent with his batting stance. Speier came up with the Giants in 1971 and was an All-Star the next three seasons, mostly because of his defensive reputation. He never hit much, but stayed in the league until 1989. In 19 seasons for five teams, mostly the Giants and Expos, he hit .246 with 112 HR and 720 RBI. After his playing career he was a major league coach for seven different teams between 2000 and 2020. He appears to now be retired.

  1. I like the picture on the Hostess card better, so I'll go with that one.
