1971 Topps, Ray Fosse

Card No. 125

The man who was famously bowled over by Pete Rose in the 1970 All-Star Game, catcher Ray Fosse is today's Jukebox hit....Despite the ferocious home-plate collision, Fosse still completed the '70 season and earned an A.L. Gold Glove....Topps graced collectors with its first-ever black-bordered base card in 1971....This is Ray's second stand-alone Topps card....He shared a "Rookie Stars" card in 1969 with fellow Cleveland prospect George Woodson....Fosse repeated as both an All-Star and Gold Glover in '71.
