A year of Lou Brock

1976 Topps and OPC League Leaders.

1976 Linnett drawing. These are approx. 8x11. and according to the Standard Catalog available through mail order. I also remember getting football players in a similar style and size at gas stations in the mid to late 70's.

I posted this earlier, but thought I'd repost it since it is the same picture as the Linnett drawing. It is also a good lead in to the various MSA advertising discs which will be coming up shortly.

Any chance that a Brock-a-brella makes an appearance in this thread?

Here ya go..... My very first selfie......I really am not a convicted criminal, although this picture seems to say otherwise...... I always wondered if John Boccabella ever was the inspiration for the term Brock-a-brella.

You see Brock-a-brella's on Ebay pretty frequently, in all different colors, and somewhere I have a couple others. One was sold at an amusement park in New England. When I find it I will scan it.

Never thought about that, Boccabella and Brock-A-Bella. They were teammates on the Cubs in 1963. I wonder if Boccabella got a cut of the profits?

Note both Lou and John are smiling, well John sort of. But, Kevin, geez, you sure look unhappy in the topper. Sort of reminds me of Lou's look in that 62 card in a Cub uniform
