cmh6476 1,010 Posted May 7, 2023 First of only five pitchers to start an all-star game for both the AL and NL. I was like 4 the last year he pitched for the Royals, but did start collecting baseball cards around his last years in the league. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerryskids 6,558 Posted May 8, 2023 I started following baseball around 1972/73 at the age of 5 or 6, and I liked the A's because they were really good and my friend's older sister liked them and was a fan of Reggie Jackson, and she was super cool! Blue was the ace of a great staff/team. I was too young to really appreciate him, but I associate his name with that era. RIP Vida. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RIP Vida If memory serves, he had some pretty awesome Strat-O-Matic cards with the Athletics... I know that his 1971 card was a beast... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
