1976 Hostess #134 - Don Kessinger
- Don Kessinger had spent 11 seasons as the shortstop for the Chicago Cubs. He was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals after the 1975 season.
- Kessinger was expected to help provide leadership for a young infield. Cardinals manager Red Schoendienst placed Don in the #2 spot behind leadoff hitter Lou Brock.
- Don played one full season for the Cardinals in 1976, batting .243 in 145 games.
- The emergence of Garry Templeton in 1977 relegated Kessinger to a utility role. Don was traded to the Chicago White Sox in August 1977.

Is that a airbrushed pic, do you think? That's a rarity on Hostess cards.
