1970 29 Sandy Alomar

Sandy Alomar

The Denver PCL team was affiliated with the Twins in the late 1960's. (They were managed by Billy Martin one year).  From looking at the lines on the back, that appears not to have been the case when Sandy Alomar played there.

[Update, the Denver Bears were in their second and final year of affiliation with the Milwaukee Braves in 1964.]

Alomar was in the middle of a long career.  1970 was the second of his four most productive years at the plate.  He stole 35 bases in 1970 - the second most of his career. It is unfortunate that Topps generally did not include stolen bases on the back of the cards until a number of years later.
