| Card No. 441 |
I've always been a sucker for catcher cards and this one of the great Thurman Munson is unquestionably among my favorites....Munson, who in 1976 became the first Yankees' captain since Lou Gehrig, tragically died in a plane crash in '79....Won the A.L.'s Rookie of the Year ('70) and MVP ('76) awards during his 11-year career....This is Thurman's second stand-alone Topps card....He shared his 1970 "Rookie Stars" card with first baseman Dave McDonald....Batted .280 with 7 homers and 46 RBIs for the Yanks in 1972.
