Tom Underwood 1974 (in 1977)
Merry Christmas!
So, it's not in color - that will have to await some future archaeologist. But until this (black and) white whale popped up the other day I had no idea the Cardinals had actually made one of their famous team-issued postcards, and I have a very large collection of them.
Again, no reason to believe there's a Topps image of Underwood in color (had there been, they would've used it and not an airbrushed Phillies shot on his 1978 card). There's nothing in the collection of Doug McWilliams (who shot for Topps in the Bay Area at the time, and for himself) in the Baseball Hall of Fame Photo Library. No color McCarthy image has ever turned up. But at least this is better than that ungainly game action shot from his win at Shea Stadium on August 10, 1977. Enjoy.
