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.

  1. Baseball Reference and Wikipedia have Minnie being born three years later (November, 1925) than is started on his 1977 Topps Record Breaker card. If this is true, Minnie doesn't even own this record since he was only 50 years old during the 1976 season.
