1977 Topps Baseball #526 - Larry Parrish

• Larry Parrish was in his third season as the starting 3B for the Expos. Larry hadn't developed his power yet -- he was still only 23 years old. His fielding at third base was still below average. After the 1977 season Parrish played winter ball and worked on  his hitting and his fielding. The work paid dividends in 1978 and beyond.
