Baseball people in the background ... '60s & '70s

by theFalcon - 89 cards (Last updated on Feb 18, 2023)



1. 1961 Topps #144 Jim Coker


Coach Andy Cohen (39) in spring training.


2. 1961 Topps #179 Joe Koppe


Coach Ken Silvestri at Wrigley Field in 1959 or 1960.


3. 1961 Topps #185 Herb Score


Dick Donovan (22) at Comiskey Park in 1960.


4. 1961 Topps #508 Rocky Bridges


Ken L. Hunt (26) in 1961, looks like spring training.


5. 1961 Topps #532 Bob Hale


Ken Aspromonte (2), looks like spring training in 1960 or 1961.


6. 1962 Topps #48 Ralph Terry


Luis Arroyo (47) at Yankee Stadium


7. 1962 Topps #88 Ralph Houk


Yogi Berra at spring training


8. 1962 Topps #99 John Powell


Gus Triandos (11) at Yankee Stadium in 1961.


9. 1962 Topps #256 Elio Chacon


Frank Robinson (20)


10. 1962 Topps #324 Joe McClain


Assuming it's a Nat in the background, it's Dave Sisler at Yankee Stadium in 1961. There's a small chance it could be Tom Tresh or Jack Reed of the Yankess, but they barely played for NY that season.

Yeah, I don't need to see a #8 to identify Yogi, LOL.

Cool Concept! I don't know haw modern you want to get in the future (since this says 60s & 70s), but here's a couple off the top of my head:

https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/1411/cid/251410/2000-Topps-37-Rey-Ordonez (w/ Ellis Burks)

These are action shots, but there are a lot of cool cards featuring an out at 2nd, so that could also be a concept. Just a couple ideas that you could take or leave.

I'm adding about five cards at a time, which is enough work for me ... add in action cards from the '70s and I'll be doing this forever ... a separate list of action-only cards from the 60's and '70s would be more manageable in scope if anyone wants to take a crack at it ... here's a Pete Rose I discovered recently:

Good find, I'm inclined to agree, so I'll add Koosman.
