1981 Topps Checklist #4

When I hit a checklist in this set, I like to pick the best row of players on the front and on the back.

On the front I'm going with Phil Niekro and Ben Oglivie. Niekro was a HOFer, and Oglivie was coming off his MVP season. 

On the back, it's a lot tougher. Only a couple of Hall of Famers, a couple of other stars, but few left-right combinations that are even close to consideration. Going to have to go with the two Red Sox, Bob Stanley and Rick Burleson, very different players with very different Boston legacies, but almost identical, very solid WAR totals of 23.9 and 22.8.
