- What did he do to deserve a Kellogg's card? Carroll had been the relief ace of the Reds for several years. This is kind of a "lifetime achievement" award. In 1975 Clay was more of a setup man in Sparky Anderson's deep bullpen.
- 1976 Highlights:
- As indicated on the card, Carroll had been traded to the Chicago White Sox before the 1976 season.
- Clay pitched well for Chicago in 1976, going 4-4 with six saves and a 2.56 ERA in 26 games.
- Missed the entire month of July after fracturing his right hand in an accident at home.
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.
Isn't there a variation of this card with the back team being the Reds?
ReplyDeleteyes there was -- I don't know which one is more rare --- probably the Reds one since I don't have it
