Baseball people in the background ... '60s & '70sby theFalcon - 90 cards (Last updated on Mar 28, 2024) |
For now, I'm going to omit "traditional" action cards to make the list more manageable in length.
|
32. 1969 New York Yankees Framing Pictures #NNO Joe Pepitone
Frank Fernandez (10) at RFK Stadium in 1969. |
33. 1969 Topps #390 Bill Freehan
Not sure ... if the pic was taken in 1967, then #51 is batting coach Wally Moses at Yankee Stadium ... or it could be coach/mgr. Bob Swift if the pic was from 1964-66. |
34. 1969 Topps #491 Twins 1969 Rookie Stars (Jerry Crider / Geo. Mitterwald)
This is a tricky one. George Mitterwald wore #34 in 1968. Can't be a pic from 1969 because the only #34 they had that year (Cotton Nash) didn't join the club until June. This could be 1966 when the Twins had two #34s, Ron Clark and Ted Uhlaender. |
35. 1969-70 MLB/MLBPA Baseball Stars Photostamps #NNO Pat Dobson
I'm guessing this is 1969 spring training ... #38 would be Les Cain, although he didn't make the team that year. |

38. 1970 Topps #86 Lum Harris
Orlando Cepeda (20) ... he switched to his more familiar #30 after the Braves sold Ken Johnson to the Yankees in June, 1969. I think this is Connie Mack Stadium |
39. 1970 O-Pee-Chee #180 Tommy John
Coach Les Moss (35) at Yankee Stadium in 1969. Wikipedia is my source for coach/mgr. uniform numbers ... they don't list Moss with the 1969 White Sox, which must be a mistake as other sources have him on the team. |
40. 1970 Topps #182 Dick Hall
Gene Brabender (32) and Russ Snyder (9) in 1966, probably at Yankee Stadium. |

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/1340/cid/234927/1999-Topps-194-Rey-Ordonez (w/ John Cangelosi) 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: | ||
https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/72/cid/17102/1972-Topps-697-Jerry-Koosman; Coach Joe Pignatano | ||
Good find, I'm inclined to agree, so I'll add Koosman. | ||
1978 Topps #38 Willie Montanez | Trading Card Database (tcdb.com) I believe that's Rod Gilbreath in the background. 1977 O-Pee-Chee #85 Bill Singer | Trading Card Database (tcdb.com) Tom Bruno 1977 O-Pee-Chee #103 Mike Willis | Trading Card Database (tcdb.com) I think that's Chuck Hartenstein, it looks like a 24. | ||
I added Bill Singer ... not sure about the other two. |
