Yes, I caught that part of your post after I posted the photo, but still love the fact that he is clearly in a Dodger uniform. When I think of bad airbrush, I think of 1977 Topps Mariner cards!!



But back to topic. Willie never got to play for the M's, but he was part of the team thanks to Donruss.

First year I collected. This always blew my 9-year-old mind. (Courtesy COMC.com)

This one is bizarre on two levels, because not only does the uniform not match the team on the card, but the actual team name is wrong as well!!!

I always hated when the card companies did this. In the 1963 Fleer set, there are only 4 Cleveland Indians, and Fleer managed to get only two in a Cleveland uniform (Kindall and Francona, FYI). I remember opening up 1984 Donruss cards and pulling Brook Jacoby rookie cards, playing for Cleveland but in a Braves uniform. And, sadly, the only card of Tim Crews to show him on the Cleveland team has him in his Dodgers uni.
