1973 Topps - Toby Harrah.

In 1973 Toby Harrah was coming off an All-Star appearance in 1972. In just the second season in Texas he was already becoming one of the better known Rangers' players. He was also sporting some serious sideburns. Today he appears on card number 216 of the 1973 Topps set.

Toby did better on offense though. He went to the plate 519 times during the season. He worked 48 walks and was hit twice. His .260 average wasn't much to write home about but he had ten home runs, second only to Jeff Burroughs in the starting nine. His 16 doubles were just barely third. Flashes of the power that Harrah seemed to be developing.
