Random Card of the Day

Year: 1979

Set: TCMA West Haven Yankees (Rate)

Card: #7 Buck Showalter


“ Very rare to get a minor league card of someone that made it to the majors. Strangely he never made it as a player but has been a manager in the majors pretty consistently for about 30 years. If you have read my reviews you know I am going to love this set. Even if it has a white border and several other things I usually dislike. I forgive all when it comes to minor league cards, especially older ones. ” -davidhandberry

“ I wonder if Buck ever figured out what was wrong with Tartabull's swing? The cotton uniforms certainly didn't help. ” -AirPete

“ Nice Minor League Card. OH look it is a current Manager. ” -captkirk42

My hometown team! I was born & raised in West Haven..but not until after minor-league baseball had left. I have this Showalter card but if anyone has other singles from the West Haven Yankees, A's, or Whitecaps, please let me know!

That hat looks like he works for "White House" security!

I just found my program from a West Haven Yankees game from 1978. I lived there for 25 years.
