Amazingly, he got THREE Topps flagship cards as a Brewer despite only playing 19 games in one season with the team. He got a 1978 card despite missing the season with an injury and a final tribute in 1980.<br /><br />He had 11 games as a Mariner in 1977, but I’m not sure he ever got a card with them.Brett Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15909286892005353279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-78312980254827626522014-04-02T19:37:53.560-05:002014-04-02T19:37:53.560-05:00Nick, let me echo CB in loving this post.

I readily admit that I have a hard time thinking of Milwaukee as an NL team every so often, though with 15 years under the bridge it gets easier. <br /><br />Keep up the great work on the short term stops, though. I will point out that a candidate for first base is tough since only 15 players have been the "starting" first basemen for Milwaukee in the teams 46 year history.Tony L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01349226671097456632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-66696185140089049082014-04-02T18:43:45.697-05:002014-04-02T18:43:45.697-05:00Great post Nick, from this Brewers fan that rememb...Great post Nick, from this Brewers fan that remembers the Brewers in the AL and County Stadium well. As a matter of fact I finally got to see my first game at Miller Park ever, since I moved up to Alaska before it was built. And how did I not remember Abbott had been a Brewer but for a short time. And I remember that 2008 season when we picked up Sabathia, no regrets it was a great pick up for the team espcially since it was their best season in many many years, although I can forget all about Eric Gagne, it seemed like anytime I got to see a game he'd come in and blow it. And I really liked Travis Ishikawa, got him to sign a ball for me at Spring Training in 2012 and he signed a few cards for me TTM too. Might have to hunt down a few of those Abbott cards and see if he'll sign for me. Keep up the good work.cynicalbuddhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13459221069829023793noreply@blogger.com
