In fact, you can just make out some gold topped A’s players taking fielding practice behind Ed Brinkman, and possibly one by the outfield fence behind Bibby. I can only guess that Topps had a photographer living in the Bay Area and he probably took the opportunity to collect some shots during other team’s visits there.

I recall being quite impresed that my father bought the Vida Blue pitchback for the backyard rather than the inferior non-celebrity endorsed version.

It did not include a package of cocaine, however.
