1970 41 George Lauzerique

By

George Lauzerique
 

This card would be Lauzerique's last.  1970 would be Lauzerique's last major league season. 
He was traded to the Pilots on December 7, 1969.  The same deal brought Diego Segui to the A's. Lauzerique pitched in 1970 for the Brewers (and endured a 6.94 ERA).  He was traded to the Cardinals at the end of the 1970 season.  He never appeared on a card for the Pilots, Brewers or Cardinals.

December 7 was apparently too late for Topps to put Lauzerique on a Pilot or Brewer card. The Pilots moved to Milwaukee after that date.  A baseball team had time to move to a different city, even though Topps would not have time to change the label on 30 cards. 

Lauzerique's PCL team was the Vancouver Mounties in the next-to-last year of their time in Vancouver. They would move to Salt Lake City in 1970 and leave Vancouver without professional baseball until 1978.
