i’m actually at my parents in NY now and will scour part of my card collection to see if i have the one pictured in this post. i don’t recognize it, but i have a goodly amount of ’81 Topps cards and i was still really young then, so it may be in a shoe box here in the attic. i’m pretty sure i have a later card of his – i thought it was as late as ’84 Topps and i was remembering it was either Yanks or Tiggers, but i’m probably mistaken. i think it listed him as 1B-3B or utility or something.

yeah, if we had won in ’81, “A-Rod,” probably would’ve at least made it to the video screen at the Yankee Stadium closing ceremonies…
