Last time it was a big 11-0 win for Topps. Will this be closer?
Hostess shows Harrah at Yankee Stadium, while Topps has him posing with a bat at Oakland, his Texas patch obscured by the facsimile autograph. Harrah came up with the Washington Senators in 1969 and became their regular shortstop in 1971, the team's last year in Washington. He was powerful for a shortstop (five 20+ HR seasons) and over time shifted to third base. He spent almost all of his career with bad teams in Texas and Cleveland. He had high walk totals (1,153 compared to 868 strikeouts), which was perhaps partially attributable to teams pitching around him with little lineup protection. Overall in 2,155 games he hit .264 with 195 HR and 918 RBI. After his playing career he had a long coaching career in the major and minor leagues, and he is now retired.

ReplyDeleteEasy win for gum. The Hostess kind of looks airbrushed, but I'm pretty sure it's not.
