Armond Hill.

1981 was the last year until the early 1990s that Topps made basketball trading cards. Each card in this set had three players on it, with perforations that allowed for division into three smaller cards. Unless some new scans come our way (hint hint) this Armond Hill scan is the final card in our summer series featuring former Princeton players. It is 1981 Topps trading card #25.



Saturday News:

C. Young (9-4) - 6.0 IP 3 H 4 ER 5 BB 5 K 2.02 ERA. 105 pitches, 58 strikes.

Chris Young threw six innings of one-run baseball in his return on Thursday evening, but could not retire a batter in the seventh. Young left the game versus St. Louis trailing 2-0 with two men on base. Reliever Doug Brocall would get the first two men he faced out, but pinch hitter Rick Ankiel hit a three run home run to provide the game's final margin.

"A little rusty, but overall not bad," Young said, assessing his outing. "I felt good. I had no problems with my side at all. I came out of hit healthy. That's a big step forward."
