Congrats Dodgers, that was a heck of a game and heck of a series.
I realized I made a mistake and am batting out of order here, I posted card 411 last time and forgot about card 410. I hope I haven't skipped any other cards in this set but I'm not about to audit 400 posts to figure it out.
The back: Long career for Campy. I don't think of him as an Angel but he played three years for the team.
The player: Bert Campaneris came up with the Kansas City A's in 1964 and quickly became one of the AL's most exciting young stars, leading the AL six times in eight years from 1965 to 1972. He was the sparkplug of the great Oakland A's teams that won three straight World Series from 1972 to 1974. A six-time All Star, he played in 2,328 games for the A's, Rangers, Angels and Yankees, hitting .259 with 79 HR, 646 RBI and 649 SB.
The man: Campaneris was a coach for several teams and is still involved with many events for the MLBPAA.
My collection: I have 39 of his cards, from 1969 to 1984. I would be interested in trading for 1975 SSPC #14.
Gotta imagine most fans think of him as an Athletic first. I know I fall into that category, but I do remember pulling cards of him when he was with the Angels.
