Bill Buckner was my favorite player in the late '70s and early '80s. I loved the way the guy gave 110% on wheels that were only able to run at 50%. He was a gamer and I tried to find a card that shows that.
Here's what I came up with:
It's the team-issued card from 1982.
Check out his right leg, covered in dirt. The guy always seemed to be dirty, from a slide or a dive. Like I said, he was out there giving 110%.
Buckner's body is completely intact. He looks like he just launched one over the ivy. Wrigley is in the background. This is one great looking card.
