Today's eBay bargain came in the form of a full pack of 1990 Pacific Legends. I previously only had two cards from this set, which came from another
eBay win and a
contest win.
In addition to the pictured Bob Horner, Dick Groat and Al Dark both played for the Cardinals. Dick Groat always reminds me of a story my dad would tell about being at the 1964 (I think) World Series. The crowd stormed the field, and when he reconnected with his friend who had run off, the first thing he told my dad was "I touched Dick Groat!" That'd be a good name for a blog, if you're a Pirates/Cardinals/Phillies/Giants fan out there looking for inspiration.

One of my favorite oddball type sets; it really helped familiarize me with a lot of stars from years past. Plus, it's just a wonderfully photographed set!
ReplyDeleteAgreed, I loved this set as a kid. Seems like one I should revisit.
DeleteGreat Dick Groat story! I agree with Tony. Some great old photos. Not as old as some of them but I like the pre "Swingin' A's" Hunter.
