By the time this card would have come out, these two already had three MVPs between them, while heading towards a couple of World Championships for Bench and five total championships for Jackson.
Nothing short of Cooperstown was ahead of them, becoming two of the everlasting icons of Major League baseball in the 1970’s.
Bench would have two home run titles in his career (1970 and 1972), while Jackson would finish with four titles, funny enough, three of which were shared with three different Milwaukee Brewer sluggers: George Scott (1975), Ben Oglivie (1980) and Gorman Thomas (1982).
Go figure...
