dick mc auliffe - 3


Dick McAuliffe was a solid player for the Tigers for most of his career. He was a left-handed hitting second baseman. In 1968 he came in 7th in league MVP voting, leading the AL in runs scored with 95. He was a three time all-star.

This card is a dull pose in what looks like old Yankee Stadium. McAuliffe has a really goofy face in this pose. Topps gave him a high number in 1972 and an action card in 1973. The 1973 is the card of Dick McAuliffe to be used in a draft league.

Last night I opened my 1971 binder and realized that probably 90% of the cards in this set are pretty dull. Also I realized that of the last 200 or so cards in this set, none of them are action shots. There are some great subjects in those last two high series; too bad all of the cards are so dull.
