1972 Topps, Willie McCovey

Card No. 280

A member of the 500 home run club and the only man in baseball history to have a cove named after him, Hall of Famer Willie McCovey graces the Jukebox with some 1972 Topps vibes....Some people refer to '72 Topps as the "psychedelic tombstone" set, and I guess I can see that...."Stretch" had his number retired by the Giants in 1980....Willie's iconic rookie card appeared in the '60 Topps set....His final Topps card can be found in the '80 release....Played in just 81 games for San Fran in '72, mashing 14 homers with 35 RBIs.
