Random Card of the Day

Year: 1973

Set: O-Pee-Chee (Rate)

Card: #650 Felipe Alou


“ The Alou brothers accounted for 5094 hits, 269 HR and 1656 RBI. Not bad. If you add Moises Alou stats, 7228 hits, 601 HR and 2943 RBI ” -volbox

“ I seem to remember when all 3 Alou brothers played outfield in the same game. I will have to look that up, but am sure someone else will mention it too. Classic Topps/O Pee Chee card. ” -Kaline6

“ His son, Moises, had a better career but Felipe had a very solid one. ” -carthage44

“ Love Vintage OPC cards. I don't have nearly enough of any sets of them. I should try to correct that someday. ” -captkirk42

“ Gotta admit, not a bad father son combo as far as stats go. both him and Moises were decent baseball players (though Moises was better) ” -DarkSide830

“ So many more words to repeat the same English phrase in French! Love the 1973s, by the way. My grandpa gave me a stack of the high numbers (Topps, not OPC, but same design) when I was pretty young, and for quite a while, they were the only cards I owned that were older than me. ” -switzr1
