1970 Topps Booklets Rusty Staub

 Rusty Staub.

Some minor league highlights.

 

 In the majors with Houston. Topps was probably still sensitive about the Colt Manufacturing litigation so they are never called the Colts or Colt .45s, just Houston, and the artist even drew a made-up H uniform.

Expos was fine to say, though. Staub was known as Rusty, and then in Montreal as Le Grand Orange, due to his red hair. Unfortunately, the cartoonist drew him as a blond.
