- What did he do to deserve a 1976 Kellogg's card?

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.
Later in life, Mr. Lynn became the first to hit an All-Star grand slam, too. Great all-around player!
