1. Walt Davis Posted: December 15, 2020 at 03:56 AM (#5994235)my 1970 to 1975 Topps cards - yes, I still have all of them - have shifted grimly in the "alive or dead" category.
as kids, you shuffled through a pal's clump of cards: "Got em, got em, got em, need em, got em, got em, got em, need em, need got em...."
now it would be "alive, alive, alive, dead, alive, alive, alive, dead, dead...."
#6: Probably the lo-D video of our day. Just 5.3 K/9 over those 3 years. Sure that's a lot better in that era and there's more to K'ing guys than velocity but for comparison, House's career K/9 was 5.2 at the time of the trade.
