1976 SSPC Henry Cruz

 

The card, in brief: We manage to get three separate reflections of the camera's flash in Cruz's glasses.

Playing career, in brief: Outfielder Henry Cruz had cups of coffee with the Dodgers in '75 and '76, and the White Sox in '77 and '78. In 171 games he hit .229 with 8 HR and 34 RBI.

Post-playing career, in brief: Cruz had a long career as a scout and coach, mostly in the Dodgers organization, but now appears to be retired.

My collection: I have three of his cards, this one and 1976 and 1978 Topps. I would be interested in trading for  1978 SSPC 270 #152

  1. Nice 'stache. Back in 76, it would have been cool to see him line up with Buckner, Lopes, and their bushy mustaches.
