Still sitting here in 1983. Today we have the second of Robin's 3 cards from the 1983 Topps set. This is Robin's All-Star card. It's hard for me to believe that Robin was only voted to the All-star squad 3 times during his 20 year career all of them in the early 80's. Robin would also go to the game in 1983, but this card commemorates his 1982 team selection. Interestingly the back of the card has nothing to do with Robin or the 1982 All-star game. Man look at the 80's chiseled Robin Yount with the featured hair.
I like looking at old baseball books with pictures of players in black and white. Those pictures present a whole different feel from modern day pictures. Usually the eyes tell a story. This Yount card, albeit in color, reminds me of the pictures in those books. What is he looking so intently at?
