This card mentions Cesar Geronimo as Gibson's 3000th strikeout victim. Geronimo would be Nolan Ryan's 3000th victim almost six years to the day later.

Wonder what those 2 dudes in the 3rd row are talking about?

This 1976 Topps Mike Hargrove Card is teamed up with a 2012 Autographed Card of this MLB Player, Coach and Manager. I obtained it at The National in Baltimore. Thus an additional value of $12.00 has been added to this Baseball Card in my collection.

The 70 and 130 used for the minor league AB totals were actually his Games Played totals

1975

Washington played in 105 MLB games without batting, pitching, or fielding, playing exclusively as a pinch runner. He had 31 stolen bases in 48 attempts and scored 33 runs during his short career. Washington is one of only seven players to have more game appearances than plate appearances.
Washington's 1975 Topps baseball card is the only baseball card ever released that uses the "pinch runner" position label.

I like the idea of a pinch runner and I have never seen this as a position. The card says he holds world records for indoor running but his stats speak otherwise.
