Tug McGraw - 1972 Topps Card

The 1972 Topps card of Tug McGraw, card number 164, showcases the left-handed pitcher in his New York Mets uniform. The 1971 season saw McGraw with a 1.70 ERA and 8 saves, reflecting his crucial role in the Mets' bullpen. By the time of the 1972 card release, McGraw had already established himself as a fan favorite, known for his charismatic personality and his "Ya Gotta Believe!" mantra which would become synonymous with the Mets' 1973 pennant run.



Willie McCovey - 1972 Topps Card

Willie McCovey's 1972 Topps card, number 280, features the San Francisco Giants' first baseman in a powerful batting pose. The previous year, McCovey battled injuries but still managed to hit 18 home runs. His 1972 card captures the essence of his resilience and the power he was known for throughout his career. McCovey was a feared slugger, and his presence in the lineup was always a significant factor for the Giants.



Lou Brock - 1972 Topps Card

Lou Brock, the base-stealing legend, is immortalized in card number 200 of the 1972 Topps series. The previous season, Brock led the National League in stolen bases with 64, a testament to his speed and intelligence on the base paths. The 1972 card depicts Brock in his St. Louis Cardinals uniform, ready to take off and steal another base. Brock's career was marked by his incredible base-stealing ability, which would eventually lead him to break the all-time stolen base record.

This One is on Mental Health Awareness Week
