Stoney Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Going through my baseball card collection I came across this guy from Longview. Anybody else heard of him? Might have been on the We Are Family Pirates championship team? http://www.baseball-almanac.com/players/pl....php?p=lacyle01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheaptrick77 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Oh, yes ... I remember him more as the Dodgers' #1 utility man in the 1970s He played in FOUR World Series: 1974 Dodgers 1977 Dodgers 1978 Dodgers 1979 Pirates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 Thats not too bad a career. Thats some good teams to play on too. Cheapy, there was a guy who played in the 70's early 80's maybe for the A's. One of his cards listed his position as pinch runner. Any idea?

cheaptrick77 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 ^ Herb Washington His 1975 Topps Baseball Card is one of my favorite cards of all-time for that very reason! The Athletics experimented with an outfielder named Allan Lewis as a "designated pinch runner" two years prior to Herb Washington's Major League debut ... Washington's entire Major League career was as a pinch runner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lhornfan Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Finished up a complete set of '75 Topps a few years back. It took me over 20 years to complete it because I wanted all cards in NrMt or better condition. Not an easy task for '75 Topps. In fact, I got the last three cards I needed, all commons, from 5 packs I bought off eBay. I've never been so fired up over commons in my entire life.

cheaptrick77 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 ^ hehehe :rofl: I know the 1975 set is CLASSIC, but I have always been partial to 1976 Topps. The first pack of Baseball Cards I ever bought was in 1976, my favorite year as a kid :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
