Scot ReaderThe Foothill Little League snack bar in Upland, California. We got a clear plastic token after each game that we could redeem at the snack bar. Some kids used their tokens for "donuts" which were really deep-fried Pillsbury biscuits doused in cinnamon and sugar (admittedly, they were pretty tasty). But a token could also be exchanged for a 1977 Topps baseball wax pack. I thought it was especially cool to find cards of Mariners and Blue Jays in their inaugural season. My greatest prize at the time was the colorful card of "The Bird" Mark Fidrych which sported on front both the red A.L. All-Star banner and the Topps Rookie All-Star trophy.
