Topps decided to go and use an image they already had out the a year before, which amazes me since I would think they’d have a few images of each player.
Nevertheless, time being the great “fixer”, they would go on to take proper pics of him in a Seattle uniform so I went and “fixed” it just over 40 years later.
Stein would go on to put in 14 years in the Big Leagues, and 1977 would be the only one of them that was a true full-season, appearing in 151 games for the new organization, with exactly 600 plate appearances.
He put in a nice season, hitting .259 with 13 homers and 67 runs batted in, along with 144 hits and 53 runs scored.
All except the batting average were easily career-highs in a career that spanned 1972 through 1985.
He’d finish his career with a .267 average with 751 hits over 2811 at-bats, appearing in 959 games.
