2014 trade package #29: Rats! Hoyled again!

I'm betting enough of you have received cards from reader Mark Hoyle that you mainly associate one word with the guy:  vintage.  For the third time so far (June, August), Mr. Hoyle lived up to that reputation with another quality PWE:

Mark started things off with a pair of 73s; the Hendrick card kicked off the package because he realized blog favorite Bill Freehan also featured on the play at the plate card.

In the deciding game 5 of the 1972 ALCS, Reggie Jackson led off the top of the second with a walk and eventually knotted up the score (Freehan had grounded in a run earlier) by stealing home.  Hendrick replaced him in center in the second, reached on an error in the 4th and came around to score on a Gene Tenace single for the winning run, slipping past Bill's tag.  Oakland went on to beat the Reds in 7 games.

Coleman is a nice addition too as he joins some of the other 73s Mark sent me a few months ago.  If I wasn't getting them from him I might not be getting them at all!

Mark also found a few other things to throw in to make it worth the postage:  a pair of '90 Classics (Tony Phillips!), an '89 Fleer Tanana, last year's Gypsy Queen base of clubhouse leader Torii Hunter, and a 2014 Topps sticker of Jose Iglesias, a guy the team surely missed this year.

Thanks again for a great PWE, Mark!  I promise to get a nice response chock full of recent Red Sox headed your way soon!
