- What did he do to deserve a 1976 Kellogg's card?
- As the card back says, Willie was still one of the most feared hitters in the NL.
- Stargell had at least three legitimate shots at NL MVP --- 1971 (2nd to Joe Torre), 1972 (third behind Johnny Bench and Billy Williams) and 1973 (second behind Pete Rose). Willie finally won the award in 1979.
- Batted .295 with 22 HR and 90 RBI in 1975
- Finished 7th in NL MVP voting in 1975
- 1976 Highlights
- Batted .257 with 20 HR and 65 RBI
- It was the first year since 1968 that Stargell didn't get any NL MVP consideration
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.
