I'm going to make an attempt to collect as many baseball cards as possible from 1976. I was 9 when the 1976 Topps baseball cards came out. I have most of those cards, but I'd like to expand and get the other cards from this great year.

1976 Topps #172 - Texas Rangers
The Texas Rangers were 76-86 (4th in AL West, 14 games behind Kansas City) in 1976.
The Rangers had one Gold Glove winner (catcher Jim Sundberg) and one AL All Star (starting shortstop Toby Harrah)
Frank Lucchesi managed the Texas Rangers from the 2nd part of the 1975 season through the first part of the 1977 season and had a 142-149 record. The Randers were 31-31 when Frank was dismissed. He was fired in part due to problems with Lenny Randle, who he had benched. Randle punched Lucchesi several times. Here is a 1977 Sports Illustrated article about the incident.
