You'd think that Topps would give an "In Action" card in their 1972 set to the reigning American League batting champ!
Oh well, then allow me to show my design for a Tony Oliva "in action" specimen here:
Oliva was coming off of his third batting title, hitting .337 with 22 homers and 107 runs batted in.
He also lead the league with a .546 slugging percentage, getting named to his eighth straight all-star game.
Really is a shame injuries slowed down a sure path to the Hall of Fame.
