On this date in 1972 in the ALCS, Bert Campaneris of the A's throws a bat at Tiger pitcher, Lerrin Legrow after being hit by a pitch. Both players were ejected and Campaneris was suspended for the rest of the series.
Above is a photograph of an enraged Campaneris in "mid-throw" as well as his 1973 Topps card.
What a missed opportunity for Topps!
He did THAT and Topps responded in 1973 with THAT ?
They were doing "in action" cards by then!
No excuse!
Put me in the "very disappointed" bordering on "slightly disgusted" camp.
The dude throws a bat while at the plate and the next year you have him posing for a picture!
