Top 9 Alcohol related names - Single Entry:
9. Jim Barr - 1975 Topps - Lynwood, CA -
From the back of this card:
"When Jim went the distance to hang 5-3 defeat on the Dodgers, September 2, 1974, he capped his STOUTÂ pitching performance by clouting (!!) his first homer in organized ball. Â The clout (!!!) came in the 7th inning to account for the final run." Bravo Topps copywriter ~ circa 1974 Â
8. Don Cardwell - 1970 Topps - Clemmons, NCÂ
Our bouncer is named Donald Eugene Cardwell...take that 'War Machine'.
