1971 Topps #630 Roberto Clemente ⭐ 5H x 2
Roberto once had back-to-back five-hit games.
That's 10 hits in 2 days.
Not bad.

1971 Topps #118, Cookie Rojas ⭐ Royals Great
This morning is a special posting for all my great Kansas City Royal fans on Mantel.
This is quite possibly the most underrated card of all-time.
It is perfect in nearly every way.

1971 Topps #620, Hi-Number ⭐️ Frank Howard
There's nothing like a well loved card that you pulled as a kid and has remained in your PC through the years.
I pulled this card in the Summer of 1971 and loved it well.
I love it just as much today.
Frank Howard, "Hondo", was one of the most feared power hitters of his era.

He was 6-foot-7 and weighed over 250 pounds.
He was a physical marvel and carried the additional nicknames of "The Capital Punisher" and "The Washington Monument," with the Senators.
He finished his career with 382 home runs at a time when 30 home runs was a huge season.
Trivia Time --
Frank hit the last home run in Washington Senators history (1971), and

He hit the first home run in Texas Rangers history after the franchise relocated.

1971 Topps #341, Steve Garvey ⭐ RC
Steve Garvey was one of my favorite non-Pirates growing up.
I begged my Dad to take me to see him play when the Dodgers visited Pittsburgh.
I remember he was a fantastic hitter and clutch too.
Steve Garvey won multiple MVP awards during his 19-year career (1969–1987). His most prominent award was the 1974 N.L. MVP with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He also was a two-time All-Star Game MVP (1974, 1978) and a two-time NL Championship Series MVP (1978, 1984)
I think he will make it into the Hall of Fame some day.
I think he is deserving.
