Bert Campaneris
July 22, 1973. Campaneris went 0-for-4 but Reggie Jackson hit two home runs and Deron Johnson also went deep, while Ken Holtzman pitched a complete game as the A's rolled past the Indians, 5-2.
In other news, a plane crash off the coast of Tahiti killed 78 people, another 15 died when a bus went off a ravine in Hong Kong, and David Pearson won the Dixie 500, his ninth win in ten races, which is a NASCAR record that remains unbeaten.
A. I know it'll never happen, but this is one card I'd love to own.
ReplyDeleteB. Sad to hear about the plane and bus accidents.
C. I learned about Pearson about a decade or two ago and it was from the card community. That guy is a legend.
