1976 Topps #86 - Mike Tyson

• When I see the name Mike Tyson, I think of this guy, not the boxer.
• Mike Tyson had a 10-year career with the Cardinals and the Cubs. He came up with the Cardinals in September 1972. He must have had a good glove -- he never batted above .245 in the minors before coming up to the bigs to stay in 1973.
• Mike's best year was probably 1975 when he batted .266 in 368 at-bats. He batted .286 in 1976, but he only had 245 at-bats.
• Tyson was traded to the Cubs for Donnie Moore after the 1979 season. He played for the Cubs for two years, then was released in spring training of 1982.
• His son, Torre Tyson, manages the Charleston RiverDogs (the Yankee A minor league team).
