1979 Topps, Frank Tanana

Card No. 530

Nobody--and I mean nobody--prior to or since the photo for this card was snapped has ever had as much fun at a baseball park than Frank Tanana is having here....I've always been partial to Frank since he and I are both July 3rd babies....1979 marked the sixth year Tanana appeared in the Topps checklist....His first appearance in a Topps set was 1974, where he shared a "1974 Rookie Pitchers" card with fellow neophytes Vic Albury, Ken Frailing and Kevin Kobel....Following three-straight All-Star campaigns, Tanana managed just 7 wins in 18 games (17 starts) for the '79 Angels.
