1978. One year out of high school, I was working at Bangor International Airport as a ramp attendant along with the other two guys I'd graduated high school with. Our foreman got a big kick out of having the entire graduating class working for him. I stayed on for a year and a half leaving for Florida right after Christmas while my two classmates only worked for a couple of months. I coached the Ohmart & Hinckley Senior League baseball team that summer and took the team from last to first place and we won the local championship. I was selected to co-coach the All-star team of which one of our players was future MLBer Mike Bordick. Here are nine cards from my collection all from 1978, heavy on Nolan and Tigers rookies.

In fact, I can't think of another instance. I have this card in my Molitor collection. At some point I need to pick up another for my Trammell collection.)
