Here's a 1972 Topps "in-action" card of a player that SHOULD have had one, Bert Campaneris of the Oakland A's.
Check it out:
Nice action shot of the Oakland speedster and stolen base whiz.
"Campy" was ALL action, whether it was on the base paths or on the
field at shortstop, and the fact that he didn't have an "in action" card
in the 1972 set is a joke (again, Bob Barton had one?!)
A six-time stolen base champ, six-time all-star and three-time
World Champ in his 19-year career, I was very fortunate to see him play,
and even meet him once before a game, when he played for the New York
Yankees in 1983.
He even batted .322 for them over 60 games at the age of 41 that year!
Just a true all-star through and through.
