- What did he do to deserve a 1976 Kellogg's card?
- Tom Seaver was one of the best (if not the best) pitchers in baseball in the 1970s.
- In 1975 Seaver won his third NL Cy Young Award and was an NL All Star
- Tom led the NL in wins (22) and in strikeouts (243)
- 1976 Highlights:
- Was a holdout during spring training but agreed to terms and became baseball's highest paid pitcher on April 5.
- Had a rough stretch in May, losing four straight starts.
- Pitched two innings in the All Star Game and allowed a solo home run to Fred Lynn
- Had a record of 14-11 with a 2.59 ERA
- Led the NL with 235 strikeouts (his ninth straight 200-plus strikeout season)
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.
