Well this is certainly a random package of players. I am not sure why I bought these two cards in particular, but I guess I will not argue.
1. Carlton Fisk. This card comes from the Topps X Super 70's set. This is kind of a boring shot of Fisk, but as I have said previously, I tend to pick up lots of Fisk cards.
2. Joe Lahoud. This was a fairly cheap vintage card I needed. I think I was originally under the impression it was short-printed, which is not the case. Lahoud spent four years with the Red Sox as a fourth outfielder. His best season was in 1971 when he hit 14 home runs with a line of .215/.330/.438. Lahoud was part of a large package of players sent to the Brewers in a big trade. Boston sent Lahoud, Ken Brett, Billy Conigliaro, George Scott and Jim Lonborg to Milwaukee for Tommy Harper, Marty Pattin, Lew Krausse and Pat Skrable. Definitely a franchise-altering trade for both teams.
