- I liked the "Highlights" and "Record Breaker" subsets. They were good for educating collectors about the game's history.
- It's been a while since a Hall of Famer has been featured (although at the time it seemed like Fred Lynn and Vida Blue were on their way to the HOF).
- Mr. Brett still holds this record. The players who have come the closest to breaking this record are Magglio Ordonez and Cody Ross in 2008.
- Brett was 18 for 26 during this six game streak.
- The card doesn't mention it, but Ted Sizemore also had five consecutive 3-hit games in 1970.
- Rod Carew was 15 for 18 with 4 HR during his five game streak in 1975.
This blog covers all things baseball in 1977. Baseball cards from that year is a main focus of the site.
