1900s - 1970s: 1975 Topps #363 Carmen Fanzone This card gives a nice look at one of my favorite features of the Cubs uniforms in the '70s.... the cloth stick-on C on the helmet with the uniform number painted inside the C. Fanzone was one of the last Cubs to wear #23 before Ryne Sandberg.

Five Random Cubs Cards
I've got 14,628 Cubs cards from 120 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.
1900s - 1970s: 1975 Topps #363 Carmen Fanzone This card gives a nice look at one of my favorite features of the Cubs uniforms in the '70s.... the cloth stick-on C on the helmet with the uniform number painted inside the C. Fanzone was one of the last Cubs to wear #23 before Ryne Sandberg.
1980s: 1985 7-11 Great Lakes #11 Ryne Sandberg ...and speaking of Sandberg, the coin gives us a look at swinging Sandberg and a head shot.
1990s: 1998 Collectors Choice #332 Lance Johnson The card has a nice shot of Johnson taking a rip at Wrigley. It would look even better if not for the Cub logo right on top of his foot.
2000s: 2001 Pacific #78 Brant Brown For any Cub fan, whenever they hear the name Brant Brown, two other words come to mind immediately.... Oh No!!!!
2010s: 2016 Wrigley Field 100 Years #47 Ronald Reagan How appropriate that just a couple day after the inauguration of our new president, the RNG gives us the now second oldest elected president.

There are some moments in Cubs history that I will always remember where I was when I watched the game or heard the call on the radio. Brant Brown dropping that fly ball will unfortunately be one of them.
ReplyDeleteThose are cloth stickers, huh? That's a little disappointing. I never knew that.
