1970 49 Tim Cullen

Tim Cullen


 At the time, it was no big deal to get a Senators card in a pack.  They were just another AL also-ran.  But Senators cards are now a relic one step more "relic-y" than the other 1970 cards.  Even if the player is a relative unknown, that Senators label makes the card a little bit special. 

There must be more to the story with those deals referenced on the back of the card.   Cullen and Ron Hansen were traded for each other twice in the same year by the same teams. 

Cullen was another alumnus of the Seattle and Hawaii PCL teams. 

Cullen was the second person on the Joe Coleman rookie card in 1967.  

Cullen performed well defensively. He appeared to be mostly a late-inning defensive replacement in 1970.  He played in 123 games, but had only 262 at bats that year.
