- When looking at the back of this card, it's hard to believe Rod Carew's best season was yet to come. He had a monster year in 1977. Rod led the AL in eight offensive categories -- batting average, runs, hits, triples, on base percentage, OPS, and intentional walks. Rod won the AL MVP award in 1977.
- This was another highly sought-after card for us.
- Trivia: Rod Carew was an AL All Star every year of his career except his final year (1985). He was selected or voted on to the AL All Star team for 18 years (1967-1984).
