It was a unanimous decision

 All seventeen votes in the last battle went to Archi Cianfrocco. 

Book recommendation:  I just finished "Big Hair and Plastic Grass".  A year by year review of the 1970's in Major League Baseball.  It is well written and a good luck back.

Two boring cards, so boring I couldn't decide which card to use in the number seventy-nine spot.

Thank you for stopping by and thank you for your assistance.

I like the photo of the Urias card. Going with Urias.

Urias. BH&PG is a favorite read. I love all things 70s. The book is well-written and entertaining from page one!

1970 design for me - I vote for Richard

The Diamond King said...

I'm on board for Richard.

Matt said...

Urias at least has a background, so he gets my vote. I read "Big Hair" last year. I enjoyed it a lot.

Tough decision. I'll go with Richard... because of the poor photo cropping. Not sure why they'd chop off Urias's left hand.

This motivated me to look up Padres cards with #79 on COMC:

A lot of them were 1979 cards... but there were a few Gwynns and a cool McGriff. There's even another Archii out there.

I'll say the Urías is less boring.

The Richard one represents the 1970 set well, but still can't vote for it. Urias.

Jon said...

I'm voting for you trying to find a better card to fill that spot :)

Ah the old "Death is not an option" choice. Going with Richard since he got a WS ring with the Cubs.

I am going with the Urias card in this battle, but only because it is a rookie card.

Jimmy said...

Richard by default.
