Keep on Votin'

Don't forget to vote for the greatest 1981 Topps card of all time at Thorzul Will Rule. The tourney is in the quarterfinals now and the competition is heated. Go vote now and make your voice heard.

In honor of the competition I submit another classic specimen from 1981: the immortal Mario Mendoza.


There's a lot to love about this card. The huge glasses. The stylin' Mariners Trident cap. The Kirk Douglas cleft chin. The chipmunk cheeks. A portrait of a defensive specialist so committed to the craft that he even worked on getting outs while batting.
