#10 - National League Pitching Leaders Wow, what a card. Three Hall of Fame pitchers including Cub Fergie Jenkins. And look, Gibson looks so friendly.
#11 - American League Strikeout Leaders Two more Indians! Well, actually, the same two Indians. Why is McLain giving Tiant that look? And doesn't McDowell look a little like Charlie Sheen in that picture? Wild Thing!
#12 - National League Strikeout Leaders Smiling Bob Gibson completes a sweep, appearing on all three pitcher cards. And Fergie is on two of three.
#13 - Mickey Stanley One of the 1968 World Series heroes get the player first card in the set.
#14 - Al McBean Two player cards and already we have a hatless player. McBean is wearing a Pirates uniform and I doubt he would have such a happy look on his face if he knew he was going to an expansion team.
#15 - Boog Powell A pretty young and relatively trim looking Oriole slugger
#16 - Giants Rookies The Giants were 0 for 2 with these prospects. The airbrush shows up for the first time, too.
#17 - Mike Marshall Another hatless expansion player, he looks like he knew he was going to the Pilots.
#18 - Dick Schofield Dick is sporting a nice flat top haircut. He is also wearing a Pirates uniform, whom he last played for in 1965. No new pictures in the files, Topps?
