1981 - Players On New Teams



Explanation

This is where I put all the players that have cards in one of the 1981 sets, but have a card in the Topps Traded set on their new team. The most notable cards in this category are the last Padres cards of Dave Winfield and Rollie Fingers, the last Red Sox card of Carlton Fisk, and the only card of Gaylord Perry in a Yankees uniform. I have listed the team shown on the card in the checklist below.


Bob Owchinko
Bob Owchinko played on the Indians in 1980 and was traded to the Pirates in the deal that brought Bert Blyleven to Cleveland. At the end of spring training he was traded to the A's, so he never played a game for the Pirates in 1981, although he is listed as a Pirate on his Donruss card. Donruss did this for a few players in their 1981 set, listing them on their new team, but showing them in their old uniform. Owchinko is the only one who never played a game for his new team. Owchinko does have a card showing him as an Oakland A (where they A's or Athletics then?) in the Topps Traded set, so I have included both of the above pictured cards in my checklist below.

1981 - Retired Players



Retired Players

How I am organizing this is I am putting all the cards of players who played their last game in the majors the year before or were not in the majors or minors the year the card came out here. In 1981, the most notable retired player who had a card in one of the sets was hall-of-famer Willie McCovey, who played his last game in 1980. The team the player is shown on is listed after his name. If there is another card number after his name, they had a card in both the Fleer and Donruss set, but not the Topps set.
