1980 Topps, Mickey Rivers

Card No. 485

Probably most remembered for his stint as a Yankee, here we find Mickey Rivers--the Ranger--ready to take his cuts in the batting cage....This is Mickey's first Rangers card...."Mick the Quick" was a part of two World Series winners during the late '70s in the Bronx....His given name is John....Mickey's rookie card can be found in the '72 Topps set....His 'sunset' Topps card appeared in '85....Had a brilliant 1980 season for Texas, collecting a career-best 210 base hits to the tune of a .333 average.
