After Mays hung up his God-like cleats in 1973, he stayed on with the Mets as a hitting instructor for a few years until 1979, the very same year he would be elected to the Hall of Fame among the other all-time greats.
Would have been really cool to open Topps packs as a kid in the 1970’s, finding cards of guys you always heard about but never got to see play or on a card during their playing careers!
Lot’s of fun creating these, and look for a bunch more in the near future.
