For awhile, I considered doing the Tigers review on my 1968 blog (as they were World Champs), but I think I'll stick with the '67 blog, for continuity.Jim from Downingtownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01537007940455183397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-865519228352947442.post-73166144664182913672013-09-20T01:30:22.970-04:002013-09-20T01:30:22.970-04:00Back in 1967, I thought the photo of Luke Walker o...Back in 1967, I thought the photo of Luke Walker on this card looked like the Monkees' Mickey Dolenz. <br /><br />Now, not so much.Jim from Downingtownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01537007940455183397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-865519228352947442.post-2973454952068461032013-09-17T21:26:49.100-04:002013-09-17T21:26:49.100-04:00Luke Walker pitched in the bigs from 1965-1974.

Too bad he wasn't around in the late '70's - early '80's; he'd have a great nickname- Luke (Sky) Walker!<br /><br />Sorry!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00136563912411463585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-865519228352947442.post-17514222184230601012013-06-30T16:59:44.810-04:002013-06-30T16:59:44.810-04:00Jim and Bob,

They were just like the junk replicas we bought at Manny's Baseball Land across the street from Yankee Stadium. You can see the patches pretty clearly on the Ribant, Pizzaro and Clemente(!) cards. <br /><br />And Bob Moose has the only no-hitter I've ever seen live in a ballpark. I'll never forget that day at Shea. Clemente (who else) made a spectacular catch in the 6th or 7th as I recall to preserve it.Commishbobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18069472376708715755noreply@blogger.com
