- Thurman Munson/Reggie Jackson Letter from my father dated August 5, 1979. Tragic death of Thurman Munson & Reggie Jackson) Mike Caldwell brawl.
Showing 79T cards of Thurman Munson, Reggie Jackson, Mike Caldwell, Lou Brock, Yaz, & Dennis Lamp.
Newspaper clipping of Lou Brock's 3000 hit from the International Herald Tribune, Wednesday, August 15, 1979 while I was in (West) Germany! Carl Yaz would get his 3000 hit also.
Stayed with my grandparents for a time in summer 1979 with my mother. My mother flew back & I stayed with grandfather's younger sister Tante Bertl. She owned a small soda factory n beer distributor. At age 16 me n a younger boy with Dietgar(Boss) would go out each day n deliver beer/soda to bars n people! This doesn't happen in the US!

Great memories Mike. Reggie’s 79 Topps is one of my favorites of his.. Next to his 78.
Thanks buddy, I appreciate you watching n commenting. Yeah, both Reggie cards are fantastic!
Hi Mike! Great story about delivering beer in Germany! That must have been a great experience spending time over there as a kid. I remember the TV channels shutting off around midnight here too back in the late 70s. Unfortunate way to learn about Munson passing away! What a sad day that was, I remember it well.
The newspaper articles
Are a lot of fun to read and look back on! The brawl you showed was against the Red Sox!
Awesome bunch of 79 Topps cards! Thanks for showing Yaz! 😁
@@PickerJimS Yes, I had to show a Yaz card! What a summer of 79 it was n a lot has changed a lot since then. Yeah, I was shocked to hear about Munson myself!! Thanks again, and take care buddy.
I think thats awesome you were able to see Thurman Munson play. That is pretty cool to hear the letter Mike and nice seeing some Munson Caldwell and Jackson cards. Enjoyed.
@@vintagecardssteve8582 Thanks, I appreciate it Steve. Will do also sometime a letter I received from my father when Reggie hit his 500th while I was in college. Glad you liked the cards n have a great weekend from cold NJ. Not as cold as Nebraska!!!

Man that is so fantastic that you still have that letter. Such a cool trip down memory lane. Also some beautiful cards and enjoyed the clippings. Awesome stuff Mike
@@davidm686 Thanks, I really appreciate it. That was a fun summer. My aunt had a small room downstairs where the old timers would sit all day n drink beer. I had a choice of soda or beer any time I wanted! There was a bakery directly across the street from my aunt & would buy such delicious German pastries!! Anyway, take care buddy.
Well done 👍. I am checking the videos again because RUclips deleted the comments
Thanks, I appreciate it. Deleted? Oh boy. Take care.
I like your Thurman Munson card and Reggie Jackson cards.
Thanks, I like those cards also! Have a Happy New Year!! 😘
Great stories Mike. Interesting to hear how things were in a time period in another country. 70’s cards are great and underrated. Someday I would like to do a Munson run.
@@tigers727 Thanks, I appreciate it! I use to go every summer to visit my grandparents in Germany. TV was soo different back then n I had to entertain myself but B4 my grandfather retired the kids knew me. Also, my grandparents didn't drive so I had ride a bike everywhere or my mother drove. Mainly my grandfather n I rode the bike. I brought my baseball cards with me! You can do the Munson run! What a player he was! Deserves the HOF! Take care buddy!!
Hey Mike. Hope all is well my friend. Crazy way of finding out about Munson. Really interesting about how the TV cable turns off at midnight.
@@scootscollectibles Things were different back then! Quite sad. Thanks for watching!!
Loved Thurman and Sparky Lyle...
