The card, in brief: May had six stints for five teams in fifteen years, with seven different uniform numbers. He wore #8 only with the Astros.
Playing career, in brief: May was a solid catcher with a decent bat and excellent fielding numbers. He was usually a platoon or backup catcher. He led the league in various defensive categories in several seasons, and overall hit .263 with 77 HR and 443 RBI in 1,192 games.
Post playing career, in brief: May was a major- and minor-league coach for several organizations for over 30 years, most recently in the Orioles organization until 2019.
My collection: I have 31 of his cards, from 1971 to 1985. I would be interested in trading for 1978 Hostess #115.
