1976 Kellogg's #39 - Von Joshua
- What did he do to deserve a 1976 Kellogg's card?
- After several ho-hum years as a backup outfielder for the Dodgers, Von moved over to the Giants and batted .318 with 25 doubles and 10 triples in 1975
- It's a bit surprising that Von was chosen for a card -- they could have picked 1975 NL Rookie of the Year John Montefusco instead
- 1976 Highlights:
- Joshua spent a couple of months with the Giants and batted .263 in 42 games.
- Sold to the Milwaukee Brewers on June 2
- Batted .267 in 107 games for the Brewers
I never even heard of this guy. So, I feel like I'm staring at a card from an alternate universe, where the star players of the 70's were completely different players....maybe in that universe, the Giants won the '75-'76 series and were called the Giant Orange Machine or something, I don't know. but this is the strangest superstar card I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteHe was pretty much a one-year wonder.
