What a card: This is Jim Davenport's first Topps card since the 1970 set when he was still a player.
My observation on the front: Is that a uniform under that jacket? It looks like a regular white T-shirt.
More opinion from me: There are some managers from the mid-1980s that didn't last long. Since I paid little attention to the baseball season or baseball cards at that time, I have zero memory of people like Davenport managing.
Something you might know: Davenport spent just one season managing the Giants in 1985. In fact, he was replaced late in the year by Roger Craig.
Something you might not know: When current Giants manager Bruce Bochy played Little League ball in North Carolina he used a Jim Davenport-model bat.
My observation on the back: It amazes me how many years Topps capitalized words like "doubles".
