What a card: Tony Scott split the 1984 season between the Astros and Expos. He was released by Houston in June after batting .190 for the club. The Expos signed Scott a week later.
My observation on the front: This is the fourth Expos player in this set to be airbrushed. Topps must've had a heck of a time finding photographers to shoot new Expos. Maybe problems getting through customs?
More opinion from me: Scott, like Dan Driessen, seems very happy to be airbrushed.
Something you might know: Unable to find his mark in the majors until coming to the Cardinals, he did well enough for St. Louis that the team traded him to the Astros in exchange for pitcher Joaquin Andujar.
Something you might not know: Check out this classic image of Scott with good buddy Garry Templeton in the Dodger dugout.
My observation on the back: That's a lot of info to digest in the write-up! Race cars! Clothing store! The Hammer!
