1974 Topps Deckle Dating: Jeff Burroughs

Jeff Burroughs with a cameo appearance by #41, coach Chuck Hiller. 1973 was Hiller's only year with the Rangers, giving confidence to the date.

July 28, 1973, same date as Dave Nelson and Catfish Hunter.

Burroughs's two-run homer off of Blue Moon Odom in the second inning gave Texas a 2-1 lead, and his leadoff walk in the fifth started a rally that extended that lead to 4-1. However, in the bottom of that inning starter Steve Dunning and reliever Bill Gogoloewski combined to allow four runs to give Oakland a lead that it would not relinquish, with the final score 6-4 Oakland.
