Gum or cake? 1977 Bill Buckner

Last time was a 12-1 romp for gum. Will it win big again here?

Topps has the Dodger star at spring training, posing in front of the dugout and the players inside. In January of 1977, Buckner was traded to the Cubs, and Hostess gave fans their first look at Buckner in a Dodger uniform, by airbrushing a Cubs hat onto a photo of Buckner at Candlestick Park. Looks like the red part of the C was giving the airbrusher a lot of difficulty.

Bill Buckner put up some excellent numbers over a 22-year MLB career. The NL batting champion in 1980, he hit .289 with 2,715 hits, 498 doubles, 174 HR, 1,208 RBI and 183 SB. Of course, despite all that success he's known for one bad play. After his playing career Buckner worked in real estate and was a minor league coach. He died in 2019.
