Our first Oriole!!! Hal Smith, card #8.
I love the old school O's logo and hat. Not much information exists on Smith. He was born in 1930 and played from 1955-1964 for the Orioles, A's, Pirates, Colt 45s and Reds. He retired with a .267 average and 58 home runs.
Looks like Topps should have put "Minor League Batting Record" on the back instead of major league. He had some nice minor league numbers.
