I always thought the reason Hunter retired was because he was diagnosed with diabetes in 1978 and the insulin treatments were very difficult and he went downhill physically pretty fast.

I remember a late '70's commercial with Chap Stick - "Hey Catfish, can we call you Chap Stick?"
Was confused as a young boy then. Still confused today.

Felt inspired to dig out the whole run. Grew up detesting the Yankees but for some reason I really like the 1976 card...

Didn't realize until I looked at this card that Skip Lockwood started out as an infielder. Later converted to pitcher and had a 57-97 career record but was good enough to stay in the bigs 12 years. Hunter was a better hitter -- .226 vs .154
