1977 Topps Baseball #439 - Gorman Thomas

• When I was a kid I had no idea why Gorman Thomas kept getting cards. His batting averages were usually below the Mendoza Line and it seemed like I got about 10-15 of his cards every year.
• Thomas spent the 1977 season in the minors, but after he returned to the majors in 1978 he had several good power years for the Brewers.
• Gorman was traded to the Texas Rangers after the 1977 season, but the Brewers bought him  back in February 1978.
• 1977 Stats:
• Spokane Indians (AAA) - .322, 36 HR, 114 RBI
• 1977 Highlights:
• May 29 - His home run proved to be the game winner as Spokane beat the Phoenix Giants 11-10.
• Aug 5 - Hit two three-run homers in Spokane's 15-7 win over Tacoma.
