As a Detroit Tiger fan, I was very disappointed in the Tiger player selection for the in action cards. The Tigers were world series champs a mere four years earlier and one of 4 teams in the playoffs in 1972, and still had almost all of their 1968 stars on the team, yet there were only 2 Tiger in action cards - the manager and the backup catcher. The Billy Martin card was fun, but the Tom Haller card was inconsequential. Where were Al Kaline, Norm Cash, Willie Horton, Dick McAuliffe, Mickey Lolich, Jim Northrup, and Bill Freehan? An in action card of portly pinch hitting star Gates Brown delivering a line drive would have been great.

I feel your pain, but as a Mets fan I was in heaven. It seems every single player on the team got an 'In Action' shot. I'm surprised there wasn't an 'In Action' card of Ken Boswell's neighbor going to the mailbox included in the set. That's how over the top the Mets inclusion was.

I don't think the ball was hit over Evans into left field, not a single person in the crowd is looking in that direction. They are all looking toward the first base grandstand area. I am going to guess that Evans misread the ball off of the bat of a Mets right handed hitter and instinctively leaped when he thought it was coming his way, but it was actually a foul pop that went off into the right field line seats.

This Evans card is one of the Great In Action mysteries. Not sure if I'm buying the foul pop to the right side, Cliff. Maybe a bizarre reaction by Evans on his own throwing error to first?

I find the In Action cards to be fascinating, a big part of that sets appeal. Why not just have every team in there?

My favorite set ever.
I posted about this before. Out of 72 IA cards 6 teams had none. Baltimore with the Robinsons,Powell, Palmer, McNally Etc a true powerhouse St. Louis with Torre(MVP) Brock, Gibson Cleveland,Texas,Milwaukee and Houston While the Mets had 11 cards,Giants 10 and the Padres,A's,Yanks,Pirates and Reds had 5 each. The Padres with 5? even the Dodgers and Angels only had 3 between the 2 of them. As a Mets fan I was happy but the breakdown is totally scewed in favor of the Giants and Mets. I am glad that George Mitterwald and Steve Renko were picked! I almost forgot about Paul Schaal. |
