RIP- Bob Watson

I wish he was better represented in ATG, although I'm a Dodger fan, I always thought very highly of him.

Sorry to hear.

He definitely needs a better card.

Many players from my youth passing away....brings back some good memories...I do miss those days...at 55 I guess we are getting to the time when many more will pass

Bob Watson was a professional hitter. He could flat out rip the baseball.

I think 1977 would be a good choice.

1973 & 1975 are candidates as well.

The millionth run man - RIP

"The millionth run man - RIP"

I wonder which kid is getting the watch?

which card do you guys like for Bob Watson? Both 73 & 75 are better than current card and stronger vs LHP, 77 is more balanced

I like the 1973 card with all of the OBP and it would be a nice fit in the Astrodome, especially '71.
