Tom McCraw…(Not McGraw)
Texas Rangers…..or in the 1972 Topps world the team with the plain red
cap….. with no insignia Tom and for that matter all the Texas Rangers who
either had a camera up pose or had the Senator “W” air brushed …this would
never go these days …It didn’t matter for McCraw who never was a Ranger
anyway…Was traded to Cleveland on April 3, 1972 (before the late season began) and
this is indicated on back of card (the advantages of the high number)…had a
surprisingly long career given a generally low average and limited power…Sometimes
was an outfielder….At the time of this card Tom was coming off two off years….unusual
career trajectory for he hit best at the beginning and end of his career (as a
pintch hitter deluxe)
