1977 Topps Baseball #233 - 1976 Record Breaker Jose Morales

• As the card mentions, Morales set two pinch hitting records on 16 September 1976 -- most pinch hits in a season and most pinch hitting appearances in a season.
• Jose  Morales is 8th in all-time pinch hits
• Morales no longer holds this record. The current record holder is John Vanderwal. He had 28 pinch hits in 1995.

1977 Topps Baseball #232 - 1976 Record Breaker Minnie Minoso

• It's too bad that a lot of people remember Minnie Minoso for being an old guy who would be activated occasionally for novelty purposes. Minoso was a good player in the 1950s and early 1960s and may have had a shot at the Hall of Fame if his circumstances were different.
• Minoso still holds the record. This record is unlikely to be broken.

1977 Topps Baseball #231 - 1976 Record Breaker George Brett

• 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.
