Tom Paciorek #253 (Dark Shadows)

This is one dark shadow photo. It looks like Tom fouled off a pitch and was looking at it go into the crowd.

Back Facts: Finished 3rd in the AL in batting, fourth in hits and third in doubles.

Back Facts: Works with his father as a grave digger in the off-season.

John McNamara #526

A dugout shot of Butch who probably did not know that he was being snapped as he is left with an open mouth.

Back Facts: Was a quaterback for Alabama’s 1972 Orange Bowl Team.

Scott Fletcher #544

 A nice posed shot of a very young looking Fletcher who was born in 1958. He was called up by the Cubs on September 1^st, making this card his rookie card.
