Playing career, in brief: Hundley played for four teams but is best remembered for his ten seasons with the Cubs, where the catcher won a Gold Glove in 1967 and was an All Star in 1969. In 1,061 major league games, he hit .236 with 82 HR and 381 RBI.
Post-playing career, in brief: Hundley pioneered the idea of fantasy camps, uniting former players with fans for a week of baseball. His Cubs camps ran for decades. A fan favorite in Chicago, he returned to Wrigley this years as part of the Cubs' 150th anniversary festivities.
My collection: I have 18 of his cards, from 1966 to 1977. I would be interested in trading for 1970 Chicago Cubs Color Picture Pack #NNO.
