1978 Topps AL All-Star OFs were...
Last night I was racking my brain trying to remember who the AL All-Star OFs were other than Reggie Jackson and Carl Yastrzemski. The third AS Game starter was Richie Zisk, but his card didn't show the AS designation.
Is there a third OF I'm simply blanking on, or is it possible I managed to collect this set as a ten year old, obsess over getting the all-star cards in my packs, and somehow never realize that an AS was missing? |
For some reason only 2 A.L. All Star outfielders were designated by Topps that year.

Maybe Topps wouldn't meet Zisk's demands for additional royalties for putting the All-Star shield on his card.....:)

Topps screwed up the All Star logos almost annually from 1975 to 1981. I think 1977 and 1980 are the only years they labeled all the starters correctly.

Bobby Murcer's 1975 card has an AL outfielder star but it's a Giants card and he's wearing a badly airbrushed Giants cap.
