TTM Success - Fred Kendall

Some more 1970s cards have been returned and placed in my album, thanks to this TTM success from Fred Kendall.  I like this 1977 Topps that has him in his catcher's gear, and ugly Padres uniform.

I also had the 1973 and 1976 Topps shown here, with more Padre brown shown.

Kendall (b. 1949) is the father of former catcher, Jason Kendall.  He played in the majors from 1969 to 1980 for the Padres, Indians and Red Sox.  He had 603 hits, 31 home runs and a .234 batting average.

I mailed to Kendall on May 24 and got the cards back on June 5, for a 12-day TAT.
