1975 Topps

Buck Martinez

Kansas City Royals

Toronto Blue Jays

Some more Blue Jays content from me. (last night was just a blip on the way to glory)

Buck Martinez has been a part of the Blue Jays organization for almost 40 years - 6 as a player, 2 as a manager, and 30 as a broadcaster, and is beloved by the city of Toronto.

"I came here kicking and screaming in 1981, thinking, what the hell am I going to do in Toronto? I figured this was the end of my career. I'll play here in 1981 and be done."

Here he is as a member of the Royals in 1975. He hit .226 with 3 home runs that year, and was never much of a hitter, but he was a solid defensive catcher and pitchers liked working with him. All these years later, and he's still very much in the game.
