Back to the 70's Mystery Card Game Announced!

[LMBombers]

Hopefully we will get some more news on this new game soon. It has been a week since we last heard anything. :(

If it is a mystery card game, I'm in, if not, ...

Players to watch for.

Bobby Murcer, six 20+ HR seasons and an OBP of .427 in 1971.

How about Big John Mayberry and Otto Velez from the '78 Jays

and the guy we've all been waiting for Mario Mendoza, 148 games in 1979 and a .198 batting average for Seattle, the infamous Mendoza line.

I'm assuming it won't be called "Back to the 70s". I believe the 80s game was titled, "Back to..", in reference to the 80s movie, Back to the Future.

So, anyone want to guess or propose a name for the 70s game? Any applicable Disco or Peter Frampton songs that would make a good title for the 70s mystery card game? :D

George Scott; Luis Tiant; Jim Palmer, McNally, Tony Perez, Lou Piniella, Amos Otis, Reggie Smith, Willie McCovey, Randy Smith, Herb Washington, some NASTY Carlton cards, Wiiiiillllllbuuuurrrr Wood, Jim Kaat, Lyman Bostock ...

WOW, how much fun will this be???

[LMBombers]

The larger than the BTT80's player pool should make theme leagues even more possible!

[Outta Leftfield]

A few guys nobody (I think) has mentioned:

Brooks and Frank Robinson
Yaz
Thurman Munson--and Reggie when he was the straw that stirred the drink
Mark Belanger (the Ozzie of the 70's?)
Ron Santo
Billy Williams
Ralph Garr!!
Fergie Jenkins
Roy White
Eck the SP
Mondo Gossage
Jimmy Wynn, the Toy Cannon
Joe Rudi
Mike Marshall
Joe Morgan
Clemente? (70's BAs: .352. .341, .312)

Nettles will be a 1; maybe also Randolph; Maz??

...should be interesting

catfish, five 20+ win seasons in a row
schmidt- will still be a powerhouse
the spaceman-bill lee :idea:
KEN brett
ralph garr-pretty good hitter huh

i,d give anything for all them cigar boxes of cards with the rubber band wrapped from corner to corner on each of my teams..

speaking of topps-where did they get that idea of the basketball cards of what,the 77,78 season being so long(tall).i remember some of my laker player cards,chaimberlain,west,goodrich,baylor. don,t mean to go off on a rant here..

[honestiago1]

that someone's already mentioned Johnny Bench? Dave Parker was, eh, an okay player. :wink:

Rennie Stennet will have a good season or two (pre-injury). Tekulve was good at end of 70s.

PALMER! SEAVER! RYAN!

roofinghorse: I don't know if this'll do it for you or for anybody else thinking about those old cards, but here's a link to my site that's taking the 1970s cards one by one back out of my old shoe box:
