Anybody remember Campy Campaneris, the shortstop for the Oakland A's during their salad days in the 70's?
I sure do. He was a lynchpin of those World Series winning teams, along with guys like Sal Bando, Rollie Fingers, Catfish Hunter, Vida Blue and Joe Rudi. This card is from Topps 1970 series, and I had several just like it as a ten year old, only not signed. I sure wasted a lot of lawn mowing money buying Topps baseball cards in those days. Remember that awful rectangle of gum that was included? Tasted funny, but we always chewed it, although I don't know why.
Sigh.
I wonder what Campy is doing these days?
