Cookie Rojas started 95 of the Royals' final 104 games at 2nd base after his mid-June 1970 acquisition, including 26 of the last 30 (so it's not like they were auditioning someone in September), yet Topps still saddled him with the "Infield" designation on his 1971 card!
ReplyDeleteHe also started 111 of the first 124 games there in 1971.
