1980 Topps, Rusty Staub

Card No. 660

This card from 1980 Topps captures affable All-Star Rusty Staub in his second go-round with the Montreal Expos....Rusty appeared in the 1969 through '71 Topps sets as an Expo, as well....Nicknamed "Le Grand Orange" during his Montreal days for his unmistakable red hair...Staub's first appearance in a Topps set was 1963 where he shared a "Rookie Stars" card with Duke Carmel, Bill Haas, and Dick Phillips....Played the 1980 season for the Texas Rangers, batting an even .300 over 340 ABs.
