Baseball people in the background ... '60s & '70sby theFalcon - 90 cards (Last updated on Mar 28, 2024) |
For now, I'm going to omit "traditional" action cards to make the list more manageable in length.
51. 1971 Topps #59 Gene Mauch
It's a little fuzzy, but that sure looks like Bob Bailey (3), probably at Shea Stadium in 1970. |
54. 1971 Topps #233 Larry Bowa
After much eye-balling, I think this is Johnny Briggs (12), probably at Shea Stadium in 1970. I don't think it is Larry Hisle. |
56. 1972 Topps #43 Rick Wise
Probably spring training in 1971 ... Billy Wilson (37) and Jim Bunning (14) ... I have no clue regarding no. 54. |
57. 1972 Topps #51 Harmon Killebrew
Paul Ratliff (8), assuming this is not a really old photo ... looks like spring training. |

Yeah, I don't need to see a #8 to identify Yogi, LOL. | ||
Cool Concept! I don't know haw modern you want to get in the future (since this says 60s & 70s), but here's a couple off the top of my head: https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/1340/cid/234927/1999-Topps-194-Rey-Ordonez (w/ John Cangelosi) https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/1411/cid/251410/2000-Topps-37-Rey-Ordonez (w/ Ellis Burks) These are action shots, but there are a lot of cool cards featuring an out at 2nd, so that could also be a concept. Just a couple ideas that you could take or leave.

I'm adding about five cards at a time, which is enough work for me ... add in action cards from the '70s and I'll be doing this forever ... a separate list of action-only cards from the 60's and '70s would be more manageable in scope if anyone wants to take a crack at it ... here's a Pete Rose I discovered recently: | ||

Good find, I'm inclined to agree, so I'll add Koosman. | ||
1978 Topps #38 Willie Montanez | Trading Card Database (tcdb.com) I believe that's Rod Gilbreath in the background. 1977 O-Pee-Chee #85 Bill Singer | Trading Card Database (tcdb.com) Tom Bruno 1977 O-Pee-Chee #103 Mike Willis | Trading Card Database (tcdb.com) I think that's Chuck Hartenstein, it looks like a 24. | ||
I added Bill Singer ... not sure about the other two. |
