You just need a Rick Langford or Steve McCatty card to round things out.<br /><br />P.S. Love the Billy Martin too.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1955228872063707002.post-3938838361283257222020-01-19T21:49:17.045-06:002020-01-19T21:49:17.045-06:00The norris is a great card (still don't unders...The norris is a great card (still don't understand how he did not win the cy young in 1980) but the martin with the white hat takes the cake.

I remember watching a short piece on Norris a long, long time ago (think it might've been featured on ESPN) that documented his post-career troubles & recovery -- I specifically recall one part where they mentioned how Norris kept a copy of that '81 Topps card in his wallet to remind himself of how spry and flexible he once was.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508921644099472101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1955228872063707002.post-88294326058138310362020-01-19T19:13:51.090-06:002020-01-19T19:13:51.090-06:00This Kellogg set has been one of my favorites.
