                   The 3 Spartans that were involved in this pick off player were the following.

The pitcher:      

                                        Dr. Mike Marshall I chose this card cause it looks like when Walter Alston came to the mound he discuss the game plan to Marshall.

The First Baseman: 

 Steve Garvey who would later after the season would be named the National League MVP I chose this card cause Afterall Steve was an All-Star First Baseman & was elected to the game as a write in candidate then he was named the MVP of the game.

The Runner (Pinch Runner actually):

 Herb Washington he came into play after a hit by Joe Rudi to do what he was signed for steal bases but alas he was picked off as you can tell from the play. I chose this card cause well......its 1 of 4 Herb has in his career that are listed on the tradingcarddb.com site. 

            This isn't the only time in World Series play for Steve Garvey also to be involved with a Spartan reunion. Stay tuned to my next post about the story behind the card as well some more interesting facts about this Alumni story as well the other time.
